Abstract

The common aesthetic complaint of patients is the presence of anterior spacing. It has a multifactorial etiology such as labial frenulum, microdontia, mesiodens, peg-shaped lateral incisors, agenesis, cysts, habits such as finger sucking, tongue thrusting, or lip sucking, dental malformations, genetics, proclinations, dental-skeletal discrepancies, and imperfect coalescence of interdental septum. Based on time, physical, psychological, and economical limitations treatment is planned. Direct composite resins give immediate esthetic changes in diastema cases. In this case report anterior spacing was closed with direct composite resin restoration in a single appointment and the patient was recalled after 6 months.
