Anterior Direct Composites

Modern resin materials have opened a huge door of opportunity for both dentists and patients by offering an esthetic and minimally invasive alternative for restoring the dentition that can be accomplished in just one office visit. Direct composite restorations make it possible to restore defects, repair tooth structure invisibly , and change tooth shape and alignment without the use of a dental laboratory. This chapter section explores the influence of composites on modern dentistry and guides dentists through the art and science of restoring the anterior dentition with composites.
