Book cover Esthetic and Functional Management of Diastema

Abstract

Recent development and improvements in dental technology have made it possible to restore teeth as same as natural, biomimetic, and functional by creating a strong bond between tooth structures with minimal invasive or no tooth preparation by preserving the healthy tooth. Innovations in the resin composites’ material formulation have led to the use of new monomers and fine inorganic fillers in the material composition, and these improvements have allowed reduced polymerization shrinkage, high mechanical and physical properties, and high polishability and also mimic nearly as the same natural tooth structures. Moreover, advances in ceramic technology have also led to major development in these systems typically reinforced materials that withstand occlusal forces and translucency that mimic natural tooth structures in the esthetic zone.
