Abstract

Color-matching composite to natural tooth color is challenging due to inherent variations in tooth color. Manufacturers are aiming at providing materials with blending effect. A novel single-shade resin restorative composite (Omnichroma (OM)) has been developed by Tokuyama with 260 nm spherical fillers and a similar appearance to the surrounding tooth structure using smart chromatic technology. This article describes cases with fluorosis, anterior class II fractures, and midline diastema, where OM was used with a standard universal procedure. It was cured in 2mm increments and was used with Tokuyama universal bond. OM blocker is a supplementary material that was used in conjunction with OM as a lingual layer to prevent shade matching interference in these cases. All the restorations were polished using polishing cups and discs. OM with increased color matching may be helpful to simplify anterior restorations, minimizing clinical errors.
