Optimising aesthetics and facilitating clinical application of free-hand bonding using the 'natural layering concept'

Abstract: The use of composites in the smile frame has evolved and gained maturity. However, ceramics remain the preferred aesthetic option for many clinicians because bonding techniques are still considered intricate, sensitive and, to a certain extent, unpredictable. These drawbacks, essentially related to the complexity of many composite systems, can be overcome today by the application of the 'natural layering concept', which makes use of only two basics masses, dentine and enamel, perfectly mimicking natural tooth … Show more

“…Resin composites are widely used worldwide due to their capacity of easily reproducing tooth like appearance [1][2][3]. Their use allows for a minimal invasive dentistry which imply lower cost if compared to the more invasive prosthetic approach based on ceramic crowns thus it is preferred by the majority of patients.…”

“…The development of systems with multiple shades for dentine and enamel enables clinicians to apply the 'natural layering concept', producing direct restorations that closely emulate the optical properties of the original tooth structure. 3 Conventional resin composite has no intrinsic adhesion to enamel and dentine but relies on intermediary agents with a mechanism that is essentially micromechanical. The 'total etch' technique with phosphoric acid followed by the application of a separate primer and adhesive resin This clinical article describes and discusses the use of preheated nanohybrid resin composite for the placement of direct restorations and luting of porcelain laminate veneers.…”
