Abstract

Aesthetic considerations have a significant role in defining the direction of treatment in contemporary restorative dentistry. Aesthetic means pertaining to a sense of the beautiful. As we know that the main aim of operative care is achieved by attaining health, function and aesthetics. It is also known as health, function and aesthetic triad. The sequence of this triad is achievement of health, followed by function and then by aesthetics. Present trends have established the “perceptual need” for whiter teeth, since whiteness is associated with cleanliness and health. Natural teeth display a variety of shades. Color correction or whitening of vital and, more specifically, non vital teeth have become an increasing challenge.
