Abstract:
The aesthetic limits of light-cured composite resins in anterior teeth are determined mainly by the size and nature of the lesion and the respective preparation. Also the shortcomings of the restorative material itself are of primary importance. The oral environment and the ageing effects ultimately limit the aesthetic expectations.
