Anterior teeth are some of the most scrutinized teeth, as the size, shape and color of the anterior upper teeth plays an important role in dental aesthetics and smile aesthetics. [1] A few aesthetic anterior problems, such as dental caries , tooth fracture , [ 2 ] enamel defects [ 3 ] and diastemas , can be solved with composite restorations.
Adhesive dentistry is a branch of dentistry which deals with adhesion or bonding to the natural substance of teeth, enamel and dentin.It studies the nature and strength of adhesion to dental hard tissues, properties of adhesive materials, causes and mechanisms of failure of the bonds, clinical techniques for bonding and newer applications for bonding such as bonding to the soft tissue.

Whitening, or "tooth bleaching", is the most common cosmetic dental procedure.Whitening is a safe process that is effective for most patients. Multiple whitening options are available, including over the counter products such as Crest Whitestrips, as well as dentist-supervised methods such as in-office treatments or at-home treatments involving trays with a peroxide gel.
Bonding to tooth structure: Composite fillings micro-mechanically bond to tooth structure. This strengthens the tooth's structure and restores its original physical integrity. The discovery of acid etching (producing enamel irregularities ranging from 5-30 micrometers in depth) of teeth to allow a micro-mechanical bond to the tooth allows good ...
Veneers are a prosthetic device, by prescription only, used by the cosmetic dentist. A dentist may use one veneer to restore a single tooth or veneer with high quality that may have been fractured or discolored, or in most cases multiple teeth on the upper arch to create a big bright "Hollywood" type of smile makeover.

d) Primer system is designed to increase critical surface tension of dentin, which gets decreased after etching of acid. e) Bonding mechanism is when: Primer and bonding resin are applied to etched dentin, they penetrate the intertubular dentin, forming hybrid layer. They also penetrate and polymerize in open dentinal tubules, forming resin tags.
