Abstract:
The quest for an esthetically pleasing smile is a key driver in seeking dental interventions aimed at achieving a more balanced and harmonious appearance. The purpose of this report is to discuss the restoration of conical lateral incisors in an 11-year-old patient. The treatment approach employed direct composite resin restorations associated with the Digital Smile Design (DSD) technology. The use of composite resins is the technique of choice for re-anatomizing conical teeth due to the material's versatility and low cost. In this case, the technique associated with the digital workflow resulted in the efficacy of esthetic restorations. DSD contributes to greater predictability of dental treatment, comfort, safety and efficiency.
