Clinical Case: Simple and Beautiful - Dual-layer Technique in the Anterior Region
Clinical Case: Simple and Beautiful - Dual-layer Technique in the Anterior Region
March 30, 2021 | Prof. Paulo Monteiro
About the Case
When a restoration is needed in the upper anterior region of a patient with particularly high esthetic demands, many dental practitioners prefer indirect over direct restorative techniques. Reasons are a seemingly higher predictability and easier handling of the materials inside the mouth. However, it is possible to achieve beautiful results with little effort using direct composite materials as well – provided that several basic rules are respected.
On closer inspection, a small discoloration is seen along with uneven incisal edges. The goal is to match the opacity and incisal translucency of upper-left central incisor.
