title: Multiple diastema closure in periodontally compromised teeth: How to achieve an enamel-like emergence profile.
abstract: This article describes a direct composite resin technique for the closure of multiple diastemas. The described procedure allows an anatomic and esthetic emergence profile of the apical third of the tooth to be obtained in periodontally compromised teeth without the use of interproximal wedges.
