Direct adhesive restoration of anterior teeth: Part 2. Clinical protocol.
Contemporary adhesive restorations allow clinicians to deliver minimally invasive, functional, and aesthetic treatment for compromised dentition in the anterior and posterior regions. Part 1 of this article discussed the state-of-the-art relating to composite restorations, both in situations deemed to be relatively uncomplicated and those that are more complicated. This second part discusses the clinical protocol for the placement of direct composite materials as well as the tooth preparation considerations that must be addressed when providing minimally invasive treatment options.
