Abstract

Dental aesthetics has marked a change in modern dentistry, making it one of the main attractions in social interactions. In recent years, new restorative materials with improved optical properties have been introduced to the dental market, with the purpose of reproducing natural characteristics of the teeth such as translucency and color1. Composite resin is a frequently used material due to its ability to optically simulate tooth structure, through the use of stratification in different chromas and opacities2. Stratification is a technique that consists of applying increments of resin of different shades, with the aim of accurately reproducing the natural colors of dental tissue3. Although this technique offers excellent results in terms of color selection, its application can be complicated and requires advanced technical skills and longer clinical time.
