Abstract
Restoring an anterior tooth has always been a challenge, regarding the shade matching, the choice of colors, opacities, translucencies of our composites and the final anatomical outcome. This article proposes a new method for color matching and a clinical stratification using a simple and reproducible procedure for anterior restorations. The physical and optical characteristics of enamel and dentine will be studied and applied to our dental materials that we are using to restore anterior teeth.
