Abstract

Diastema are small gaps between the teeth. Polydiastema can be caused by harmful habits, genetic or systemic disorders. Direct composite resin restorations are a minimally invasive and aesthetic treatment option that can be safely used in cases of diastema. This case report describes the treatment of an anterior polydiastema case with direct composite resin restorations. A 20-year-old woman who presented to our clinic with aesthetic complaints had no systemic disease in her medical history. After all treatment options were explained to the patient, it was decided to restore the teeth aesthetically with direct resin composite restorations. After the restoration was completed, finishing and polishing procedures were performed. After 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years, the physical properties, marginal integrity and aesthetic properties of the restorations were checked. In the control examination, it was determined that the restorations met the patient’s aesthetic expectations, and the marginal integrity was preserved.
