- Anterior sector: choice between composite and ceramic restoration – narrative reviewPublication . Salmon, Dorian; Domingues, JoanaIntroduction: The restoration of damaged anterior teeth aims to repair the tooth by meeting biological and functional requirements, but also to obtain an aesthetic restoration that fits naturally into the harmony of the patient's smile. However, the choice of restorative material is not always a simple decision. Objective: The main objective of this thesis is to compare composite and ceramic restorations, in relation to their main indications, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, in order to find the best choice for the patient and the dentist. Methodology: The narrative review conducted for this study was based on Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Scielo, NCBI, ResearchGate, and University library research, in English, Portuguese and French. 44 articles were used in the writing of this work. Conclusion: Today, the most appropriate restorative materials for anterior teeth are composite resins and ceramics. Even if composite restorations offer very good possibility, they often give way to ceramic restorations in the case of extensive coronal tissue loss, uncontrolled parafunctions, or in situations where the aesthetic requirement is high.
