Restoring anterior teeth affected by Class III, IV, and V carious lesions requires
precise knowledge of aesthetic 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 aesthetic potential. This case report discusses the clinical management
of anterior composite restorations, focusing on material selection, bonding
techniques, and aesthetic 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 aesthetics in anterior teeth.
