Abstract

Discrepancies in tooth shape and placement of the anterior teeth represent uncomfortable esthetic scenario for many patients. Even current composite resin proximal build-up is considered to be practical and conservative, in some cases, interdisciplinary approach with orthodontics optimize functional and esthetic results. This case report describes the management of a patient who complained of lack of anterior esthetic, which compromises her quality of life. The correct diagnosis and the treatment with interdisciplinary strategy are highlighted to offer a reliable and promissory treatment.Keywords: Composite resin; Diastema closure; Orthodontics

Highlights

C urrently, practitioners face an increasing demanding population who want an ideal appearance
Adhesive dentistry with adjunctive employment of composite resins is favorable for direct restorations and is a conservative procedure to alter dental details, minimizing dental wear [2]
Continuous advances in adhesion and improved mechanical and aesthetic properties of composite resins caused a significant change in dental practice [3]

Summary

Introduction

C urrently, practitioners face an increasing demanding population who want an ideal appearance. The search for excellence in the beauty of the smile is evident, influencing personal and professional relationships [1] In this scenario, optimizing the smile is mandatory to promote improved facial harmony. In addition to the variety of colors, composite resins can reproduce the details of translucence and opalescence [4] If they are correctly applied, they are the primary material of choice, providing teeth’s natural color and texture practically imperceptible to human vision [4], assuring an aesthetically pleasant aspect. This procedure is of lower cost compared to ceramic materials and allows reparability [1]
