Dental CE Course: Esthetic Dentistry: 2 Layer Composite Restorations

CASE 1: composite veneers
Placement of 6 direct composite veneers on teeth showing severe incisal edge wear and erosion, using a microhybrid composite for the replacement of dentin and a nanofilled composite for the enamel build-up.

CASE 2: Class IV restorations
Lengthening and aesthetic improvement of 2 fractured upper central incisors using the natural layering concept, which comprises the following layers: -the lingual build-up with enamel, using a silicone index, -the dentin build-up, -the placement of effect materials and -the final enamel buccal layer.

CASE 3: management of 6 anterior teeth
Aesthetic deficiencies resulting from missing upper laterals and transposed canines are corrected with minimally invasive techniques: enamel recountouring of the canines and additive application of composite, using the natural layering concept, for enlarging central incisors and reshaping the canines and premolars to match with a normal smile composition.
