Achieving seamless aesthetics in the anterior region is key to both patient satisfaction and clinical success. This lecture explores advanced techniques for closing gaps such as diastemas, black triangles, and peg laterals using direct composite injection molding. Attendees will learn how to safely heat and handle composite, use anatomic tooth forms, and create highly polished, natural-looking restorations. Real-world case examples will guide clinicians step-by-step in delivering predictable, stain-resistant, and beautifully contoured anterior composite restorations.
