Predictable aesthetic reconstruction of fractured anterior teeth with composite resins: a case report.
Full-coverage rehabilitation is generally the treatment modality indicated for restoration of severely fractured anterior teeth. However, the advanced formulations of composite resins present improved physical properties, an expanded range of shade selection, and high sculptability, allowing predictable restoration of the anterior dentition and replication of the polychromatic characteristics of natural teeth. The learning objective of this article is to present the utilization of composite resin materials in the treatment of fractured maxillary anterior incisors, implementing the concepts of polychromatic characteristics, hue, translucency, opacity, chroma, value, strength, and polishability. Also presented are several practical clinical observations that will assist the practitioner in attaining predictable aesthetic results with composite resin material.
