Multidisciplinar aesthetic dental rehabilitation using prefabricated composite resin veneers after orthodontic treatment.

Abstract

Introduction: Cosmetic dentistry is one of the primary factors in dental planning, influencing people to obtain imperceptible restorations and increasingly clear teeth. Several disorders, such as discrepancies between the teeth size and the arch size, which cause multiple anterior diastemas, can generate aesthetic issues. In some situations, orthodontic treatment is not sufficient to meet the patient’s aesthetic expectations, which may require additional restorative and periodontal procedures. The prefabricated facets of composite resin are prepolymerized composite facets that have appeared on the market to simplify the restorative procedure, reducing working time. Objective: This paper aims to present a clinical case in which prefabricated composite resin veneers were used to treat diastemas for oral rehabilitation after orthodontic treatment and periodontal surgery in order to achieve aesthetic excellence. It also aimed to discuss indications, advantages, and limitations of the technique. Case report: The treatment plan was divided into two phases. In the first one, an orthodontic treatment was performed to aligned and leveled the teeth. This was followed by the periodontal surgery, to correct the gingival margin. The second phase was the cementation of costumized direct composite veneers, in order to achieve an esthetical pleasing result. Conclusion: The association of treatments was successful and proved to be a minimally invasive, with minimum dental abrasion and preservation of anatomic structures, resulting improved patient health and satisfaction.
