Abstract
Aim: This case report describes the restorative treatment process of a non-syndromic unilateral peg-shaped left mandibular central incisor.
Case presentation: A 23-year-old female patient was admitted for aesthetic concerns related to the appearance of the anterior mandible and a peg-shaped incisor. The color selection was done on clean, hydrated teeth. The teeth were roughened with a minimal red belt bur, a 37% phosphoric acid gel was applied to the enamel for 30 seconds, and the teeth were washed with water for 30 seconds to remove the acid agent. Following the application of a universal adhesive to the surface according to the manufacturer’s instructions, the palatal and proximal walls were formed using a mylar strip and an A2B-colored resin composite. Then, polymerization of the restoration was completed using an incremental layering technique. After the removal of any excess restoration, low-speed finishing and polishing were done using aluminum oxide and flexible rubber polishing disks containing diamond particles. After the resin application, the treatment was completed.
Conclusion: To achieve optimal results in the treatment of patients, restorative treatment can be recommended, considering the position and condition of the tooth. When choosing the most appropriate treatment for a patient, the advantages and limitations of each technique should be carefully explained, and the most conservative treatment should be recommended.
