Lowe, DDS. Placement of physiologically contoured, esthetic Class III composite restorations can be a deceivingly difficult procedure. Oftentimes, these types of lesions present with limited clinical access, making traditional paste composites tough to place without creating marginal voids. Although flowable composites are better suited for this task due to their ease of placement, their use becomes limited when the depth of the preparation is greater than 2 mm from the facial to the lingual aspects.
David Chan outlines a procedure you can use to create anterior composite restorations that mimic the beauty of natural tooth structure. With contemporary direct composite systems, now the clinician can truly be an artist by conservatively and esthetically creating restorations that are so lifelike that they virtually emulate the beauty of natural tooth structure. However, rehabilitating or enhancing a smile with direct composite resins can be a challenge. The task not only requires an understanding of the intricacies of shade selection, but also a mastery of replicating the uniqueness of natural tooth morphology and luster of the restoration.
Resolving Facial Decalcification with a Nanohybrid Composite Achieve conservative, esthetic, life-like restorations even in the anterior. Composite materials are increasingly being used to restore teeth in the esthetic zone in a predictable and minimally invasive way. The increased use of composites for highly esthetic cases can be attributed largely to the enhanced optical and physical properties they now demonstrate. Among the classifications of direct composites are macrofills, microfills, and nanohybrids.
