Abstract

Restoring anterior teeth affected by class III, IV, and V carious lesions requires precise knowledge of esthetic and periodontal factors to ensure functional and visually appealing outcomes. Composite resins are widely utilized due to their superior adhesion, conservative approach to tooth structure preservation, and excellent esthetic potential. This case report discusses the clinical management of anterior composite restorations, focusing on material selection, bonding techniques, and esthetic outcomes. Proper adhesion, shade matching, and finishing techniques were employed to achieve natural-looking, durable restorations. The results highlight the significance of composite resins in modern restorative dentistry, demonstrating their ability to enhance both function and esthetics in anterior teeth.
