Abstract
Due to the constant search for a harmonic smile, the level of demand and the expectations of patients become high, enabling the development of new materials and dental techniques that aim at more conservative procedures and more and more predictable results aesthetically. Techniques with Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD / CAM) have occupied a prominent place in Dentistry. This is due to the fact that computer aided design or computer aided manufacturing offers a restoration method that lowers the risk of human error and provides highly aesthetic results in a reduced clinical time, albeit at relatively high costs. The objective of the present study is to present, through a clinical case report, an aesthetic rehabilitation through the practical application of the CAD / CAM system. With the completion of the case, it was possible to observe aesthetic improvement through the preparation of the anterior ceramic crowns and improvement of the occlusal condition with the manufacture of a removable upper prosthesis, which enables greater durability of the ceramic crowns, as it better distributes the occlusal loads among the elements, avoiding excessive loads at the site of new indirect restorations. This case report was carried out in two dental sessions, achieving patient aesthetic satisfaction. It has a short-term follow-up, therefore, cases with long-term follow-up are necessary to prove the success of this technique. The high technological cost can be considered a limitation, but there is a notable advance in Dentistry to improve the quality of treatment in extremely short periods.
