Diastema closure and esthetic rehabilitation with peg-shaped laterals: A case series
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Esthetic rehabilitation utilizes advanced materials and technology to address the needs of patients with significant esthetic concerns, adhering to a conservative approach through the application of direct composites. This methodology is designed to ensure minimal discomfort and maximum safety during treatment. Direct composite veneers represent a conservative strategy for the correction of esthetic profiles. This case report details the esthetic enhancement of a midline diastema accompanied by peg-shaped lateral incisors, with a follow-up period of 6 months. In summary, for patients expressing concern regarding the esthetic appearance of their anterior teeth, direct composite veneers present a viable and effective treatment option
