La paziente si presenta in studio con l’incisivo centrale destro presentante un restauro incongruo facilmente visibile. Si noti la presenza di diverse zone con alternanza di colore bianco e giallo nei denti contigui. Raggiungere un’armonia di colore su questo dente è particolarmente difficile.Fig.2
Dr Deliperi completed direct composite restorations. The cavosurface margins are not visible anymore. Although the tooth spots, a perfect shade match was achieved. No sound tooth structure was removed to complete the therapy.

Before
This child presented to the dental office with his parents because he had just fractured his central incisors. Parents were able to find just the fragment of one tooth. Pre-op picture shows the two fractured teeth; the fracture line of the right central incisor involved the dental pulp.
After
Dr Deliperi gave back the original patient smile. The fragment of the right central incisor was cemented using a tooth-colored luting agent; the left central incisor was reconstructed using a tooth-colored resin composite filling. It was achieved a complete integration of the tooth-colored fillings with the surrounding tooth structure with no visible cavosurface margins. The young patient can show-up his smile again for the happiness of his parents!

Dr Deliperi replaced the existing restoration with a new white filling which perfectly matches the remaining sound tooth structure.

-
Before
Upper incisors teeth showing some mismatched fillings with well visible cavosurface margins. Decay and stain accumulation at the filling margins is responsible for the brownish line surrounding the restoration.After
Dr Deliperi removed the decay and replaced the existing fillings with new tooth-colored fillings. The new restorations are perfectly integrated with the surrounding tooth structure in terms of shape and color. The cavosurface margins are not visible anymore.

Before
Young lady smile characterized by yellow mismatched fillings on the upper incisors. a non-vital grey lateral incisor is also notableAfter
The same patient smile after completing tooth whitening and replacing existing fillings: teeth are extremely white and the replaced fillings are invisible!
-
Before
Upper incisors teeth showing multiple mismatched fillings with well visible cavosurface margins. Decay and stain accumulation at the filling margins is responsible for the brownish line surrounding the restoration.After
Dr Deliperi removed the decay and replaced the existing fillings with new tooth-colored fillings. A composite resin veneer and gingival plastic surgery were performed on the right lateral incisor. The new restorations are perfectly integrated with the surrounding tooth structure in terms of shape and color. The cavosurface margins are not visible anymore.
-
Before
The patient presented to the office reporting the had repeatedly lost the composite restoration on the left upper incisorin the last couple of months. Before starting the filling, Dr Deliperi completed a mock-up filling; he realized a different space for the two centrals with the chance to have teeth having different size. A filling was also required on the right upper incisor to compensate for this mismatch.After
The same patient at the two year recall. The left upper incisorwas restored with a white filling; a smaller filling was also completed on the right upper incisor.Teeth have the same size and shape now resulting symmetrical.

Patient presented with existing large composite resin fillings on the upper incisors and some tooth fracture.
Fig 2
Dr Deliperi replaced the existing restorations with new white fillings; the shape of the four incisors was also improved. Although teeth were structurally compromised, teeth prep for dental crowns was avoided. The cavosurface margins are invisible!

Patient presented to the dental office wishing to improve her smile. She had three main goals: to close the diastema between the two central incisors, improve the tooth axis inclination and achieve a nice shape of the two central incisors.
Fig 3,4
Dr. Deliperi completed a mock-up on the patient mouth first. Once her consent was secured, Dr Deliperi perfomed two resin-bonded composite veneers in the same appointment! Dominance of the two central incisors, correct inclination of tooth axis and a more feminine shape was achieved; diastema closure was also performed.
The patient can proudly show her new smile!
