Among the adhesives that have recently emerged, highlight the self-etching systems, especially the two-step selfetching, in which the acid primer is available in a separate bottle from the adhesive. These adhesives have shown good results for bond strength, microleakage and postoperative sensitivity, being an option for direct adhesive restorations in anterior teeth. This way, the present case report describes the step-by-step making of a class IV restoration in an upper right central incisor using atwo-step adhesive system, obtaining satisfactory results.202-207engDental estheticsDental bondingPermanent dental restorationClinical protocol for esthetic restoration using a self-etching adhesiveArtigo10.5005/jp-journals-10015-1232Acesso aberto2897622509429759
