Restoratif Dişhekimliği Derneği 23. Uluslararası Bilimsel Kongresi, Antalya, Türkiye, 6 - 08 Aralık 2019, ss.185
A 16-year-old female patient referred to our clinic after her orthodontic treatment with the
complaints about her diastemas and developmental opacities in anterior teeth. We planned
to improve her aesthetic view with composite restorations. A wax-up model and a silicone
index was prepared. Shade matching was done with button try technique. Since the upper
incisors of the patient had developmental colour defects, we also checked the colour with
lower anterior teeth. MD and LE shades were chosen because the patient was a young adult.
In order to obtain a perfect isolation, we used a Rubber-dam. The teeth were etched with
37% orthophosphoric acid for 30 seconds, washed and dried gently. G-Premio Bond (GC)
was applied as an adhesive and leaved undisturbed for 10 seconds after application. We
dried thoroughly for 5 seconds under maximum air pressure and light-cured for 10 seconds.
Firstly, palatal walls were prepared by silicon index using micro-nano hybrid composite
resin (Essentia, GC) and subsequently dentin and enamel layers were applied with the help
of brush and composite primer. At the finishing stage, extra fine finishing burs, yellow and
white polishing cups and points, discs and interdental strips were used.The restorations was
polished using felt, bristle brush and polishing paste. Photos were taken immediately and 1
week after restoration.
