Patient demands for esthetic and conservative dentistry have emphasized the need to produce lifelike anterior restorations.  

Resin composite materials with expanded shades, various opacities and improved handling have the potential to produce functional, long-lasting, personally rewarding, cost-effective, predictable and highly esthetic direct anterior restorations in daily practice. Knowledge and understanding of the optical properties of tooth structure, the restorative material and the techniques will result/translate into successfully achieving imperceptible direct anterior esthetic restorations. 

This presentation will focus on teaching modern resin composite materials and techniques to achieve success with direct resin composites in daily practice. Shade selection, cavity preparation for esthetic results, layering, contouring and polishing will be presented.
