Anterior esthetic dilemmas such as the midline diastema, undersized lateral incisor, and class IV restoration will be encountered in every general practice. One does not have to be a "cosmetic" dentist to treat these with confidence. This segment will review the elements of shade selection and composite finishing critical for success with single shade restorations. We will discuss the types of cases that can be successfully treated with minimal planning, a basic composite color palette, and simple polishing steps. These basic concepts can help every clinician elevate their composite skills.

Learning Objectives:

  • Case selection for single shade restorations.
  • Understand the how and why of predictable shade selection for single shade restorations.
  • Review basics of injection overmolding with warmed composite resin.
  • Review simplified polishing steps for stain resistant high gloss finish.
  • Learn simple chairside mockup tools for effective patient communication and case acceptance.
