There is a tendency to use composite resins as a universal restorative material because of the esthetics of the finished restoration. The author discusses the meaning of “esthetics” in restorative dentistry and details the clinical procedures to improve the esthetic performance of the materials. Indications for the materials are set for initial, isolated lesions in the dentition of patients who are well motivated to good standards of oral hygiene. Only then can composite resin materials be accepted as universal restorative esthetic materials, both in the front and lateral segments of the mouth.
