Nowadays the maintenance of “a nice smiling” represents the main desire of our patients and the request for tooth coloured restorations is very high.
Predictable and repeatable results can be achieved through materials and clinical practices that, on one hand, preserve the original structure of the compromised tooth and, on the other hand, involve a very low biologic price.
New technologies for the enamel-dentinal adhesion and the continuous evolution of more sophisticated esthetic materials as composite and porcelains allow the effective reaching of verifiable and predictable results.
Technologies and materials have to follow an operative approach that strictly involves operative steps which have been carefully codified referring to the materials typology used form time to time.
This lecture aims to point out the relevant guidelines in both direct and indirect techniques for esthetic anterior restorations through the evaluation of the disposable techniques and materials in order to reach a correct and standardized clinical result in respect of the restorative esthetic dentistry.
