Intoduction: A high level of aestheticscanonlybeachieved by refiningold techniques and introducing new ones. One of the mostrecent techniques is the stamptechnique.Thisis a relatively new methodthat manages to restore the occlusal anatomyalmostperfectly. Althoughitispractical, it has been adopted by only a smallpercentage of practitioners. Methods:This technique wasused on two patients with occlusal caries of differentseverity, whichallowed for an estheticfillingwith a close approximation of the natural dental anatomy. Results:An estheticrestorationwithoutretouching andwithoutoverbiteallowing a hormonal integration in the occlusion. Discussion:This isbecausemanualrestoration in esthetic direct composite is a technique thatrequiresskill and finesse and finishingthatis essential for the longevity of the restoration. With the buffer technique the overall time isreduced and the degree of porosity in the restorationisconsiderablyreduced. The purpose of this article is to clarifythis technique, to discussits limitations and indications as to illustrateitsprotocolthrough a clinical case.
