Composite restorations have the advantage of being created in the dental office, which can lead to beautiful, natural aesthetics. Laboratory technicians tend to spend minimal time with the patient and reconstruct the restoration based on information provided by the clinician. Dentists, however, are at a great advantage, as they can refer to the surrounding tooth structure when building the restoration. Part I of this article will discuss various guidelines for treating anterior teeth using direct resin restorations, while Part II will address posterior restorations.
