Smile Design using Recurring Esthetic Dental Proportion

Abstract

Beautiful confident smile has a positive impact on the psychosocial well-being of patients. Spacing present in the anterior region makes a patient feel dissatisfied with their smile. Over the years, a number of innovative techniques have been described in the treatment of diastema. However, a less invasive and short-time treatment procedure with satisfactory result is preferred by the patient. This case report describes the technique of anterior diastema closure by applying Recurring Esthetic Dental (RED) proportion for smile designing using direct composite resin. The RED proportion has been stated to be an essential tool for achieving esthetics and harmony in smile.
