Recobrimento radicular através da técnica semilunar.

Abstract

The dentin hypersensitivity is defined as the sensitivity coming from an exposure of the vital dentine through thermal, chemical and tactile incentive. In the case of gingival recession, the exposure of dental tubules is responsible for initial reduction of the patient pain. The present work aims to describe the clinical case of a semilunar retail repositioned coronally - Tarnow technic - for the purpose of cover the root in a patient that presented gingival recession class I of Miller on dental element 14. The study had the participation of a woman, who has leukoderma, 51 years old, that appeared in the dental clinic of University of Santa Cruz do Sul, the patient was complaining about the dentin hypersensitivity once it was applied thermal stimulant, and aesthetic dissatisfaction because of the root exposure. It was planned to overlay the root through modified coronal repositioned retail surgery. Trough the technique used, it was possible to reestablish an aesthetic normality, decrease the accumulation of dental biofilm, making it easy the hygiene of the cervical region, also allowing the dentin hypersensitivity to reduce, that was reported by the patient. The surgical technique used to solve this case, showed an efficient way of treatment, presenting satisfactory results assuming the root overlay of the exposed area, decreasing the dental sensitivity, returning the function to the treated element and proposing more comfort to the patient.
