Direct composite resin restoration of adolescent Class IV tooth fracture: a case report
Abstract
Anterior tooth fractures can be restored utilizing treatment modalities from various dental specialties. The combination of rising patient aesthetic expectations and the desire for conservative dentistry, however, has resulted in the development of intricate direct composite layering techniques. These procedures preserve the natural tooth structure while allowing light and color to be manipulated in the restored dentition. By highlighting the importance of light, color, and material selection, this case presentation documents the use of a direct composite resin technique for the fabrication of aesthetic anterior restorations.
