Direct Reconstruction of the Maxillary Anterior Dentition With Composite Resin

Douglas A. Terry, DDS

Direct composite restorations continue to be a viable treatment alternative for numerous patients who desire anterior reconstructive procedures. In order to achieve optimal aesthetic and functional results, the clinician must possess a thorough understanding of composite resins and color and be able to simulate the optical properties of a natural tooth. This podcast describes a sophisticated polychromatic color layering technique through the correct implementation of composite materials and freehand bonding techniques for the fabrication of ten direct resin veneer restorations in the maxilla.

*Clinical Assistant Professor, University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, Texas; private practice, Houston, Texas.
