“…They concluded that even after 5 years composite, when used as an anterior esthetic corrective material, had satisfactory results. The few cases that failed were repairable and, hence, composites are the most conservative and ideal treatment for teenagers and growing children [ 17 ]. The advantage of using the direct bonding technique is that it can be polished and finished adequately to prevent any gingival irritation.…”

Esthetic Rehabilitation of Pediatric Patients Using Direct Bonding Technique—A Case Series Report

Pediatric esthetic dentistry is a sensitive technique, as children can be less cooperative; hence, minimal appointments are preferred. The most conservative treatment modality for anterior esthetic rehabilitation is using direct composite veneer restorations. In many instances, esthetic improvements using composite resin are the only possible option until the growth phase of the pediatric patient is complete. In this article, we present three different case scenarios in young teenagers with different treatment needs requiring esthetic restorations. The first case report is a patient with amelogenesis imperfecta, the second is with generalized spacing, and the third is with localized microdontia. All three patients were followed up for six months post direct composite veneering and were highly satisfied with their treatment outcomes, which boosted their self-confidence.

“…In aesthetic dental treatment, this restoration has many advantages over other treatments such as ceramic veneers and orthodontic treatments: they are more compatible with antagonistic teeth than ceramic materials, and if there is a fracture, it will be easier to repair because it does not require additional time and cost. [15][16][17] However, composite resins also have several disadvantages, including shrinkage during polymerisation, a low wear resistance, poor long-term durability, postoperative sensitivity and (in clinical use) direct composite resins have the potential to become secondary caries and fracture. 18,19 Digital smile design is a digital aesthetic planning tool in dentistry that is used to evaluate the aesthetic relationship between the teeth, gingiva, smile and face.…”

The aesthetic management of a midline diastema with direct composite using digital smile design, putty index and button shade technique: A case report

et al. 2022

Background: A diastema is the distance or space between two or more adjacent teeth. This abnormality can interfere with the aesthetics of a patient, and 97% of diastemas occur in the maxilla. Various treatments can be performed for diastema closure in patients, one of which is composite resin restoration. Purpose: To explain the aesthetic procedure for diastema closure. Case: A 20-year-old female patient presented with complaints of the distance between her anterior teeth (Class I Angle occlusion with normal overjet and overbite). The labial frenum associated with the diastema was normal in size and position. The patient was not amenable to invasive procedures. Case Management: Management of midline diastema closure using the direct composite technique with DSD, the putty index method and button shade technique. Conclusion: The closure of a midline diastema with direct composite using DSD, the putty index method and button shade technique provides aesthetic results with less cost and time due to the absence of laboratory procedures.

“…a five-year retrospective evaluation of 169 direct composite restorations prescribed to a sample of 53 patients who had received orthodontic treatment reported an overall survival rate of an additive restoration was 59%. 31 the development of composite resins with improved physical properties, let alone advancements in adhesive systems, has widened their applications. Recently, new and improved versions of flowable composites with an augmented proportion of filler (69% or more) have been introduced and these materials may be used to undertake reshaping of the anterior teeth.…”

The aesthetic management of tooth size discrepancies is an essential component when dealing with simple and complex dental rehabilitation. Tooth size and shape is a crucial factor that strongly influences both the smile and the face in the treatment outcome. From an orthodontic perspective, evaluation of the ideal mesiodistal widths relating to both maxillary and mandibular arches is required to plan the correct occlusal, aesthetic, and functional result. The aim of this paper is to propose a safe and repeatable method to evaluate and correct tooth size discrepancy through the presentation of two case reports. Both cases were managed using a combination of clear aligner therapy and minimally invasive restorative procedures, as well as the use of digital tools.
