title: Correction of the darkened anterior tooth: a new CLEAR approach to an old problem.
abstract: An anterior tooth that is darkened due to intrinsic staining can be a severe esthetic problem. Current treatment involving crowns and opacious porcelain veneers have some inherent disadvantages in terms of tooth conservation and the final result. The latest innovation in composite resin allows a minimal intervention approach for correcting this common problem. This article showcases a new layering approach for recreating natural esthetics.
