Abstract

Summary. Today, the population of Ukraine has a high need for dental treatment, in particular in the surgical treatment of carious lesions of the teeth by restoration of integrity of the tooth crown. Over the last 10–15 years we can note a tendency to increase the average patient's requirements for greater aesthetics of fillings and restorations of the frontal and masticatory groups of teeth. During performing modern dental work it has become almost mandatory to make the fillings and restorations as close as possible to the natural transparency of the tooth, to imitate its natural appearance by reproducing a whole palette of shades, cutting edge and microrelief. The appearance of photocomposite materials with a particle size of less than 1 μm, improvement of their grinding technique – obtaining spherical particles, improving the composition of the organic matrix of the material – allowed to develop additional optical characteristics of photocomposites – the «chameleon» effect. This is an optical mimicry of color and transparency of the material when placing it in the structure of the vital or devital tooth. An example of restoration of the frontal group of teeth in a patient with non-carious lesions of hard tissues is described. Teeth treatment was performed by the method of singlelayer restoration with photocomposite material of Ukrainian production «Jen-Radiance NEW». Key words: dentistry, tooth, treatment, restoration, photocomposite, color.
