Abstract
Mimicking
the appearance of the adjacent natural tooth is challenging when
restoring a fractured anterior tooth. This clinical report describes a
modified index technique for restoring a class IV defect. A replica of
the restored tooth was fabricated with computer-aided design and 3D
printing technology, which precisely mimicked the contralateral incisor.
Labial and lingual silicone indices were developed on the replica to
transfer the designed contour to the tooth to achieve a highly esthetic
and precise restoration.
