abstract: By utilizing digital shade mapping, a stratified composite technique, and the proper composite system, the dental practitioner stands a greater chance of meeting patient expectations. In the case presented, the use of the Clear-Match system helped simplify shade selection, which is the greatest variable in success of anterior composite restorations.
