Abstract
UNLABELLED: Alterations during tooth structure formation, mainly on anterior teeth, are known to severely compromise esthetics. This article presents a case report in which the etiology and clinical characteristics of anterior teeth affected by enamel hypoplasia are analyzed. The restoration treatment sequence is also discussed, demonstrating that the use of a hybrid and a microfilled composite associated with tooth hybridization (interdiffusing zone) can be used to conservatively rehabilitate a smile. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This article presents a simple and conservative technique for restoring disfiguring areas of enamel hypoplasia to achieve an optimally esthetic result.Entities:
