Treatment of wedge-shaped lateral incisors with direct composite veneer restorations: two case presentations
Abstract
Wedge-shaped lateral incisors are teeth associated with dental anomalies, often encountered in maxillary teeth, characterized by being smaller than normal and having cylindrical or pointed shapes. For achieving an aesthetic appearance in treatment, ceramic or composite restorations are commonly preferred. However, ceramic restorations are not recommended as the primary choice for treating wedge-shaped lateral teeth due to their tendency to cause more substance loss in dental tissues, higher costs, and challenging repairs compared to composite restorations. In cases where patients presented with bilateral wedge-shaped lateral incisors seeking aesthetic improvements, various treatment options were explained to them, and after evaluating their preferences, the decision was made to use direct resin composite restorations for aesthetic enhancement. The color of the teeth was determined, and an appropriate composite resin was selected. Following the completion of the restorations, finishing and polishing procedures were applied. The purpose of presenting these two cases is to demonstrate the use of direct composite veneer restorations in achieving aesthetic treatment.
