%X Sa£¿etak Damaged incisal edges of the upper central incisors are considered to be an important as well as a relatively complex problem in restorative dentistry because the degree of damage is minimal yet esthetical demand provision of long-lasting reconstruction complex. There are several techniques for provision of incisal defects, the least invasive being direct technique with composite resins. The purpose of this study was to present one of the possibilities for reconstruction of trauma damaged incisal edge. A 22 year old patient after being strike by a hard object, sustained fractures od enamel and part of the dentin on the incisal edge. Previously performed restorative treatment was not satisfactory, so a new procedure was undertaken, using Artemis (Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) microhybrid composite material with a wide spectrum of shades for enamel and dentin simulation as well as special effects. Opaque shades of colours simulated lost dentin, transparent enamel shades enamel, and mammelon and clear transparent shades special effects. Reconstruction was performed in layer technique with the use of instruments for plasticizing including responding brushes and polymerization of each layer separately
