Nationality: Egypt

Branch: Orthodontics, Restorative-Conservative Dentistry

Material: 37% acid etch, Aluminum Oxide 50 micron, Clearfil se bond, Shofu Beautifil, A2 , OPA2 , CE , White tint

Technique: Anterior direct restoration, Anterior Composite Restorations, ADDITIVE dentistry, Anterior Restoration, Biomimetic approach, Biomimetic approach stressreduced direct restoration, Biomimetic stress reduced direct restoration, Fiber reinforced composite restoration, Orthodontic Therapy

Abstract :This case report demonstrates the integrated orthodontic and adhesive approach to restoring a fractured maxillary central incisor. Orthodontic treatment positioned the tooth within the neutral zone, followed by fiber-reinforced composite layering. The combined disciplines ensured proper torque, inclination, and occlusal harmony, achieving functional and aesthetic success.
