Maximizing aesthetics of debilitated maxillary central incisors: a clinical case.
With the advent of true "adhesive dentistry," practitioners have at their disposal new multi-purpose adhesive agents which bond to most dental substrates. These new adhesives have a high affinity for roughened or "microetched" surfaces, penetrating and wetting the surfaces to increase the bonding strength. The improved adhesion has altered treatment plans from previous years and has enabled clinicians to practice more constructive dentistry and replace only defective or missing tooth structure. The objective of this article is to present a case report to illustrate the utilization of one of the new bonding agents in an especially difficult clinical situation.
