description | Diastema is a common finding in many populations, resulting in poor aesthetics and increasing self-consciousness when smiling. The diastema closure can be done conservatively without the use of braces by employing a variety of alternative treatment techniques, such as direct composite veneers, indirect composite veneers, porcelain laminate veneers, all-ceramic crowns, and metal-ceramic crowns. With the running trend amongst the youth of desiring faster aesthetic results in a stipulated timeframe, it has become a tedious job for the endodontist to satisfy these demands. In this time of crisis, a composite resin buildup offers a one-stop solution to all the vivid demands of the patients. This case report presents a less cumbersome procedure for the correction of midline diastemas by simple usage of stainless steel sectional matrix bands and anterior transparent crowns, which have proved beneficial for correcting these defects. To achieve an ideal smile and superior aesthetics, the usage of direct restorable composites onto the tooth surfaces has proven beneficial, providing the ultimate durability, pleasing aesthetics, and complete patient satisfaction. |
