Esthetic Rehabilitation of Maxillary Central Incisors

The presentation describes a method for fabrication of anterior class IV composite restoration.[1,2] The case presented here deals with direct restoration of fractured maxillary central incisors with composite resin using „Silicone Index Technique‟. [3-7]This method reduces the chair side time and provides superior control of restoration contours as well as incisal edge position. Although more elaborate composite layering techniques exist and may be used in complex esthetic scenarios,[8,9] a simplified approach combining body shades and implementing basic dental anatomy concepts often will deliver highly acceptable esthetic results. .[1-10]This technique may be used as a routine procedure for doing direct composite restorations such as laminates, Class IV carious lesions and fractured teeth build ups effectively and efficiently.[1-10]
