caso clínico

The patient, a 46 years old woman came to our attention to improve her aesthetics.
A first analysis revealed a combined abrasive-erosive action on both incisors 11 and 21.
We decided to proceed with a direct composite restoration, a single layer, fully adhesive and additive technique without any preparation, only sandblasting.
The following clinical case shows the step-by-step direct composite veneers restoration using the Unica anterior matrix from Polydentia.

conclusión

One of the most challenging and time-consuming aspect when performing anterior restorations is the correct reproduction of both cervical and interproximal margins.
The contoured shape of the Unica anterior matrix allows to proceed simultaneously to the reconstruction of both cervical and interproximal margins with a significant advantage in terms of shape management and predictability of the restoration.
