Immediate esthetic treatment for anterior teeth: report of cases

J Am Dent Assoc. 1989 May;118(5):575-7. doi: 10.14219/jada.archive.1989.0085.

Abstract

Prompt restoration of function and esthetic appearance of dentition can avoid psychological stress and functional problems. Surgical procedures that require long-term bone deposition and soft-tissue healing can accompany periodontal and orthodontic reinforcement, but other less invasive, immediate, intermediate, and final treatment plans can be initiated with good results.
