Abstract
Objective: The objective of the present study was to present, through two clinical cases, the direct stratification technique and the sequence of finishing and polishing of composite resin restorations on fractured anterior teeth. Case reports: In the first case, an 11-year-old female patient fractured the upper central incisors. In the second, a 6-year-old female patient fractured the left upper central incisor. A detailed description of the layering technique, materials, and instruments available was presented, not only for the restoration itself but also for finishing and polishing. In both cases, the tooth fragment was lost, so it was decided to use the technique of direct restoration with composite resin. Discussion: The composite resin restores the tooth structure with excellent optical results, long-term predictability is obtained, in addition to being a conservative way to restore the aesthetics and function of fractured anterior teeth. Conclusion: The technique performed provided a satisfactory aesthetic and functional result that, consequently, improved the patient’s self-esteem.
