Abstract :

One of the challenges in clinical dentistry is closing anterior diastemas without creating black triangles. From orthodontic standpoint, etiology of diastemas is divided into two: those present before beginning of orthodontic treatment and those present either before removal of bands but after teeth are moved to desired relations. Even after orthodontic treatment diastemas can remain causing unwilling aesthetic outcome so restorative approach should be considered. This report describes two cases of build–up and diastema closure procedures in anterior teeth during orthodontic treatment by using direct composite restorations. As conclusion, considering that having such advantages such as simulating natural dental tissues, being functional, economical and repaired easily and saving chairtime; direct composite resins are one of the best options in need of supporting orthodontic treatment. Using appropriate technique and modern materials, they can yield highly aesthetic results that can satisfy patients as under conditions of cases presented.
