A common aesthetic concern among patient is maxillary anterior space or diastema. Labial frenulum, microdontia, mesiodens, peg-shaped lateral incisors, agenesis, cysts, habits such as finger sucking, tongue thrusting, or lip sucking, dental malformations, genetics, proclinations, dental-skeletal discrepancies, and imperfect coalescence of the interdental septum are some of the causes of midline diastema. For diastema closure there are a variety of therapy options. Many novel therapies have been applied, ranging from restorative procedures to surgery (frenectomies) and orthodontics for closure of diastema or a combination of procedures to meet the aesthetic and functional needs of patient’saesthetic. Recent advancement in direct dental composite resin allows dentists to do minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry that is both conservative and time-consuming. In diastema cases, direct composite resins give the dentist and patient entire control over the restriction and the construction of a natural smile. The purpose of this study is to present a case report of aesthetic management using putty index of maxillary anterior space, which includes the midline.
