- Abstract
Dentofacial esthetic rehabilitation in the anterior area of the dental arches is today a requirement without which social and professional integration is afflicted. Direct restorations with resin composites of carious and non-carious lesions can be achieved by different techniques, including the silicone index or silicone key method. This technique addresses the anterior teeth hard structure loss, involving the palatal surface, and it is performed with the help of a silicone index obtained from the impression of the affected area. The advantages of the silicon index method are, equally, the easy, morphologically and functionally correct reconstruction of the palatal contour and obtaining excellent restoration from an esthetic point of view, due to the possibility of layering the color shades of the used resin composite.
