Facetas diretas com resina composta em dentes anteriores superiores : estudo de caso.

Abstract

The pursuit of facial and dental harmony is constantly growing. The concepts for aesthetics are variable and are highly dependent on the individual’s point of view. The use of composite resins is the most common procedure for aesthetic restorations in anterior teeth. In addition to presenting satisfactory and immediate results, it presents a conservative technique with good longevity. The objective of this study is to describe the indication of composite resins in fiberglass tape reinforced direct facets through splinting, as a possibility of treatment in aesthetically compromised upper anterior teeth. An immediate and provisional rehabilitative treatment was performed on a 39-year-old female patient, who was assisted in the Project "Rehabilitating smiles in search of a better quality of life of the population" of the Dentistry Course of the University of Santa Cruz do Sul adjunct to exodontia, splinting and direct facets in composite resin. Through the monitoring of the performed work, even though it is known that it is temporary and requires some repairs, the results showed an improvement, in both the aesthetics and oral health, as well as in the social life of this patient. It is concluded that through this work, the functional and aesthetic recovery of the teeth can be obtained, as well as, the recovery of the patient's self-esteem.
