The management of the anterior aesthetic zone is always challenging because of the patient's demands. It is very important to restore the teeth in harmonious relationship with the adjacent hard and soft tissue. With the latest trends in minimally invasive restorative dentistry, patients as well as clinicians are opting for bonded composite restorations. The recurring aesthetic dental (RED) proportion is the way in which anterior teeth can be restored in a predictable manner in accordance with the adjacent teeth. The length and width of the teeth is calculated accordingly. By using this technique one can perform highly aesthetic and durable direct composite restorations for anterior space closure. This method is comparatively inexpensive. Composite resin using the RED proportion provides an excellent treatment alternative for patients who are unwilling to undergo orthodontic treatment or in whom previous orthodontic treatment has not produced an acceptable result.
