Esthetic Rehabilitation With Nanohybrid Composite: Case Report Series

Abstract

Composite resins represent the current state of the art in the field of restorative materials, for they present a standard aesthetic potential with satisfactory durability and are less cost-effective than a comparable ceramic restoration. The most recent addition to this is a nanohybrid direct composite that demonstrates exceptional handling properties and superior aesthetics. These series of case reports illustrate the three different scenarios where nanohybrid composite was used as a direct restorative material owing to its high smoothness and favorable mechanical properties; the first case being the fracture of an upper lateral incisor, second of Class IV caries in upper central incisors, and lastly the discolored restoration and Class III caries in upper central incisors. The nanohybrids used provided an acceptable color match in all the three cases with a conservative technique and were relatively easy to maintain.
