Abstract EN
Presence of diastema between anterior teeth is often considered an onerous esthetic problem.
Various treatment modalities are available for diastema closure.
However, not all diastemas can be treated the same in terms of modality or timing.
The extent and the etiology of the diastema must be properly evaluated.
Proper case selection is of paramount importance for a successful treatment.
In this case report, diastema closure was performed with direct composite restorations.
One bottle etch-and-rinse adhesive was used and a single shade was used to close the diastemas.
Contoured sectional posterior matrix was used to achieve anatomic contouring of the proximal surfaces of the teeth.
This was followed by finishing and polishing using polishing discs.
Patient was kept on recall every 6 months.
Conclusion.
Diastema closure with correct anatomic contouring is easy to perform using the contoured sectional matrices.
At 14-month recall, no clinical signs of failure like discoloration or fracture were evident.
Also, patient did not complain of any sensitivity.
Thus, direct composite restorations serve as durable and highly esthetic restorations leading to complete patient satisfaction.
