Composite Resin Restorations Have Brought Us a Bright Future

One of my favorite treatments is Direct-bonding for the small defect in an anterior tooth by composite resin with an adhesive system.

I prefer to preserve teeth rather than drilling or tooth extraction. Direct bonding which is based on operative dentistry is esthetic and constructive.

Most importantly, patients are very glad of it.

I think that is because not only there is no sense of losing a tooth but also there is a sense of recovering a tooth.

The patient who comes to the dental clinic with the main complaint of a small chip in the anterior tooth, ordinary wants esthetic restoration.


Now, we can make it as a dentist!

This is not a superior case, conventional, not rare.

Since this is not a case presentation, I will not explain the details.


The following is a list of the dental materials and instruments I used.


FineEtch37; SPIDENT as selective etching at the enamel

Scotchbond Universal;3M ESPE as a bonding agent

Filtek Supreme Ultra A2E, A3B;3M ESPE as composite resin

OptraSculpt Pad;IvoclarVivadent as instrument

Opti1step Polisher; Kerr as finishing and polishing polisher

I didn’t use any other special items.
