title: Direct applications of a nanocomposite resin system: Part 2--Procedures for anterior restorations.
abstract: Nanocomposite resins allow clinicians to create restorations with improved biocompatibility function, and aesthetics. By ensuring that the patient's condition is clearly and thoroughly evaluated preoperatively, the clinician can develope natural, harmonious integration of the restorative material with the patient's natural tooth structures. The critical information captured during the initial visit can also be used to ensure development of natural contours, light refraction, and characterization . This article describes two anterior applications of a contemporary restorative material for optimal results.
