Maxillary anterior spacing or diastema is a common aesthetic complaint of patients. Midline diastema has multifactorial etiology such as 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 interdental septum. Appropriate technique and material for effective treatment are based on time, physical, psychological, and economical limitations. Direct composite resins in diastema cases allow dentist and patient complete control of these limitations and formation of natural smile. The case series describes three cases of anterior midline diastema closure using direct composite resin. Patients were recalled for follow up upto 6 months where no discolouration, sensitivity or fracture was observed. Thus direct composite resin restorations for midline diastema closure can be considered to be highly esthetic and durable and could satisfy the esthetic demands of the patients presented in the cases.
