An anterior tooth that is darkened due to intrinsic staining can be a severe esthetic problem. Current treatment involving crowns and opacious porcelain veneers have some inherent disadvantages in terms of tooth conservation and the final result. The latest innovation in composite resin allows a minimal intervention approach for correcting this common problem. This article showcases a new layering approach for recreating natural esthetics.

In aesthetic dentistry, material science has played a key role in the development of natural-appearing restorations. Despite the progress, there have been challenges in achieving a harmonious integration of direct and indirect posterior restorations. Although porcelain restorations provide natural aesthetics, ceramics cannot be applied via direct techniques. Consequently, composite resins are valuable alternatives for conservative posterior restorations. In addition, because of their differing physical and optical properties, optimal aesthetic blending with porcelain and resin cannot be routinely achieved. This article explores the potential of composite resins as a direct and indirect restorative option in achieving the most favorable natural blend in the posterior region.

Throughout the evolution of composite resins there has been a search for a system that blends aesthetics and strength. Although current resin systems allow the clinician to deliver beautiful results, the multiple layering technique using a variety of different composite resins to create these results may not be practical for the average dentist. This article explores the impact that a microhybrid composite resin can have on predictable and consistent results using a simplified approach.
