Correction of multiple diastema without much preparation of the teeth is one of the challenges in clinical esthetic dentistry. Indirect restorative procedures render excellent esthetics; however, these are invasive procedures that lead to the removal of unnecessary tooth structure in order to achieve the desired result. Whenever possible, the most conservative approach is preferred over the invasive procedures. Many innovative techniques have been advocated, varying from restorative procedures, frenectomy, or orthodontic treatment for the closure of spaces in between the anterior teeth. When a relatively smaller diastema is present in between the teeth, extensive preparation of the tooth structure is not necessary and utilization of free hand bonding of composite resin may yield the desired result. So far, innumerable cases have been reported in the literature which has illustrated various techniques for closure of diastema. The following case report discusses a novel technique for closure of multiple diastema.
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.
