title: Restoration of anterior teeth with indirect composite partial coverage crowns: a clinical report.
abstract: When an esthetic restoration with minimal tooth reduction is desired, for example in patients with uncomplicated tooth fractures, composite partial coverage crowns may be a therapeutic option. The indirect composite restoration allows restoration of the original tooth anatomy, function, and esthetics to be reproduced while preserving tooth structure. The use of composite partial coverage crowns to restore fractured anterior teeth is described.
