Aesthetic Rehabilitation of the Anterior Region in the Presence of Class III Lesions and Diastema

Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this case report is to restore the aesthetic and functional inadequacy of anterior teeth with diastema and class III cavity. Case Report: The patient with diastema and class III caries lesions in the anterior region was to receive esthetic rehabilitation with direct composite restoration material in a single visit. After color-matching, isolation was obtained by using a rubber-dam. Nanofil-based composite material was applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions following the usage of two-step self-etch adhesive system. After finishing and polishing, the restorations were finalized. One month later, the patient was called for a control session, and the restorations were evaluated using the USPHS procedure. Conclusion: To achieve effective results in the creation of direct composite restorations that are done in a single visit, it is vital to match the appropriate color, use the proper method, isolate the environment, and have clinical experience.
