Abstract

The esthetic demands are growing in treatment of primary maxillary incisors as well as permanent ones. There is something dissatisfying about in the keen eyes of the pediatric dentists on their esthetic results of efforts because current tooth color system is created for the purpose of the application to the permanent incisors. In this study using the scientific color measurement device, I would like to introduce a color scheme for the primary maxillary incisors and suggest clinical tips for the better results of resin composite restorations.
