One of the principal challenges concerning anterior esthetics is being able to indicate a certain procedure and select the materials and techniques that provide the utmost esthetic and functional results. Composite resin restorations can offer satisfactory outcomes based on their inherent properties and mastery of the technique by the operator. Discerning when, why, and how to indicate is key for predictable, long-lasting, esthetic results for composite restorations.
