Minimally invasive dentistry combining orthodontic therapy and single-unit restoration.

Today's restorative materials enable dental professionals to deliver predictable aesthetic enhancement, particularly for compromised teeth in the anterior region. Treating a single compromised tooth, however, requires a thorough understanding of the restorative material's optical properties, experience in its clinical performance, and awareness of therapeutic modalities that conserve sound tooth structure. In this presentation, the authors demonstrate the use of orthodontic therapy and careful treatment planning to restore a single central incisor using a minimally invasive approach.
