Summary:This article described a digital workflow for layering composite resin restorations by using a digital software program and 3-dimensionally printed templates. To mimic the appearance of the natural tooth, the computer-aided design was used to copy the shape of the contralateral tooth. Three-dimensionally printed templates to replicate the contralateral tooth accurately and rapidly can help dentists build different layers of dentin and enamel composite resin, achieving layered esthetic outcomes. This workflow provides an efficient and accurate procedure, reduces chairside time, and simplifies the application of the technically sensitive composite resin layering technique.
