Abstract:
Composite resins can be used to improve the esthetics of the smile at a low cost and with relatively high clinical performance. The aim of this article was to describe an approach to restore and enhance the esthetic appearance of the anterior dentition through vital tooth whitening and the direct layering of composite resin during predictable esthetic procedures.
