Composite resin restoration in esthetic dentistry.

The revolution in esthetic dentistry is attributable to improvement in materials, such as composite resins. The varied types of resins can be used in many restorative situations, using an acid-etch technique for these restorations, whether Class V, labial veneer, or posterior composite restoration. Dentists who take advantage of continuing education (especially hands-on courses), learn from experience, stay informed about current materials, and exercise imagination and commitment will meet the needs of the 20th century.
