Abstract: Introduction: The search for aesthetic dental treatments has grown significantly in recent years, motivated by the appreciation of personal image and the influence of social networks. Objective: To report a clinical case of aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of upper incisors through the replacement of unsatisfactory restorations using the direct technique with composite resin. Methods: A young patient complained of aesthetic dissatisfaction related to previous restorations. After clinical evaluation and aesthetic planning, the restorations were removed, followed by acid etching, application of a self-etching adhesive system and stratification with nanoparticle composite resins. The treatment was completed with finishing and polishing. Results: The procedure resulted in significant aesthetic and functional improvement, positively impacting the patient's self-esteem. Conclusion: The direct technique with composite resin proved to be effective, conservative and low-cost, being an excellent alternative for aesthetic rehabilitation in young patients.
