title: Conservative tooth-colored restorations for the 21st century.
abstract: Within the past 5 years, the development of tooth-colored restorative materials has allowed dentists to restore teeth to proper form and function, while achieving great aesthetics (Figures 8 through 11). Adhesive resins enable dentists to strengthen teeth, while providing the patient with strong, long-lasting restorations. Dentists should become comfortable with placing these types of restorations and offer them as alternatives to patients who are looking for brighter, healthier smiles.
