Abstract
For over 5 decades, anterior composite resin restorations have been used to restore anterior teeth because of their excellent esthetics and ability to conserve tooth structure compared with indirect restorations. However, the operative techniques for manipulating composite resins directly can be challenging, especially in contouring proximal areas. Clinicians must possess both technical proficiency and artistic skills to create composite resin restorations that restore function and esthetics. This paper presents the straightforward pull-through technique and provides a step-by-step method of building a predictable proximal contour that blends esthetically with the remaining tooth structure.
