Restoration of anterior teeth in one shade

Composite restoration of anterior teeth with one shade sounds like a dream, while using the stamp technique sounds completely unrealistic. Restoring one or both central incisors is always difficult with direct restorations. Imagine if you could simplify the process of layering the composite by using only the maximum full flowable composite... of one shade.

Learn more about the technique of making composite veneers using the direct method using a silicone key at the webinar Classic Wax-up and Mock-up protocols for teeth with pathological abrasion .

Wax up is the initial stage for making a silicone key. Soon you will get great results. This works for most clinical situations, and in the most difficult cases you can add some paint or layers of composite.

Photo 7. In this case, only one shade of the composite is used, which perfectly matches the color and perfectly integrates with the tooth tissues. Let's move on to polishing.

Results when restoring anterior teeth

The use of maximally filled composites in daily practice allows obtaining excellent results when restoring anterior teeth. This makes the restoration process much easier. After all, layer-by-layer application of several layers of composite, the use of enamel and dentin shades and paints are excluded.
