Restoration of Class IV and VI defects in anterior teeth with an unfilled resin

The etched resin technique with unfilled acrylic resin has been successful for Class IV and VI defects on anterior incisor teeth and has proven more useful than alternatives in the immediate treatment of traumatized teeth. The advantages of this approach are ease of operation, excellent retention, conservative tooth preparation, excellent esthetics, lower cost to patient, reduced additional insult to recently traumatized teeth in stabilizing them, stable color, and lack of trauma to opposing teeth (Fig. 10).
