A patient has fractured anterior teeth and wants the fastest fix possible. Which material is most appropriate?

Composite resin is the material of choice for immediate, same-visit repair of fractured anterior teeth. It can be placed in a single appointment without laboratory fabrication time, bonds directly to tooth structure, and can be shaped and polished to match the natural tooth. Veneers, porcelain crowns, and PFM crowns all require laboratory fabrication (typically 2–3 weeks), making them unsuitable for rapid restoration.
