title: Diastema closure: a case report.
abstract: This clinical study describes two combined modalities of treatment, orthodontic and porcelain laminate placement, to facilitate diastema closure. Geristore, a dual-cure fluoride-releasing composite was mixed to bond orthodontic brackets in place. H6 elastic bands were used with the orthodontic brackets to close the diastemas sufficiently and to allow the placement of Cerinate porcelain laminates to produce a beneficial cosmetic effect.
