Introduction: A thorough discipline is required for accurate placement of predictable esthetic restorations on anterior
teeth which can result in unnecessary provision of an indirect restoration if correct protocols are not followed. Template technique
can be proven to be easy for inexperienced beginner clinicians without requiring special skills in providing the patients with direct
composite restoration. Aim: The aim of this study was to create awareness on the template technique in restoring esthetics in
fractured anterior teeth. Materials and method: A well structured questionnaire was prepared consisting of 17 questions among
dental students. The results were analysed using SPSS software version 23. Result and discussion: The data was subjected to
descriptive statistics using SPSS software version 22. Each question of the survey was represented by a pie chart. The p value was
0.0015 when tabulated statistically in SPSS software.The template technique method is simple, quick and economic when compared
to other invasive procedures. Conclusion: The survey conducted among dental students has shown that the students of dental school
showed a moderate awareness on the use of template technique for restoring fractured anterior teeth. There is a need for better
awareness of template technique and their benefits in creating simple and effective requirements for restoring anterior teeth.
