AbstractThe goal of esthetic dentistry in the twenty-first century is to attain healthy beauty by harmonizing morphology and function. Morphologic beauty is achieved by using restorative techniques such as ceramo-metal restoration, all-ceramic restoration, laminate veneer, bleaching, and the treatment of malocclusion. Functional beauty is obtained by facilitating the primary functions of the stomatognathic organ, namely, mastication, speech, and craniomandibular stability. In the next century, esthetic dentistry must combine the present focus of morphologic beauty with the goals of functional beauty to attain true, healthy beauty.
