Abstract

It is often difficult to satisfactorily restore the esthetics of patients' teeth if commercially available artificial acrylic or composite resin anterior teeth are used. A technique for fabrication of an individual set of composite resin teeth for an edentulous patient is described in this clinical report. A diagnostic cast, made before extraction of the original anterior teeth and kept by the patient for over 10 years, was duplicated with a silicone matrix. This technique results in an esthetic match of shape, size, and positioning of the teeth. It also enables the teeth of the prosthesis to be closer to the appearance of the patient's natural teeth than is achievable with premanufactured artificial teeth.
