Abstract
The restoration of anterior teeth using dental adhesives and composite resins is one the most common restorative treatments in general practice. The color and translucency of the tooth substrate play a very important role in the esthetic outcome of these anterior composite restorations. For this reason, pre-restorative dental bleaching is recommended in clinical cases in which the optical characteristics of the substrate may compromise the esthetic result of the restorative procedure.
