This clinical report describes a treatment approach for restoring the esthetics of peg-shaped incisors. Four patients were referred for the treatment of pegshaped lateral incisors that caused esthetic problems. Intraoral examinations indicated that all four patients had good periodontal health and stable intercuspal positions, as well as normal vertical and horizontal overlaps, and canine-protected occlusion. The pegshaped lateral incisors of three patients were restored directly with resin-based composite using different techniques, whereas one patient was restored with porcelain crowns. The common occurrence of peg-shaped lateral incisors means that practitioners should be trained in the art of careful interdisciplinary treatment planning, to obtain excellent results. This clinical report describes a treatment approach for restoring the esthetics of pegshaped incisors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
