description The predictable esthetic restoration of broken incisal edge of maxillary central incisors is a demanding and technique sensitive procedure. Its success is dependent on operator’s skills and knowledge and also on adhering to a systematic and problem solving approach. It is important that not only the anatomy is replicated, also the various shades are placed in accurate thickness and position. This perfect blend of accurately placed shades gives the most natural and esthetic outcome. The current report is about esthetic restorations in adjacent maxillary central incisors using a lingual matrix. A systematic and problem solving approach made possible an esthetic outcome of the case and resulted in an extremely satisfied patient.
