AESTHETIC REHABILITATION USING THE DOUBLE CEMENTATION TECHNIQUE TO MASK DENTAL SUBSTRATES OF DIFFERENT COLORS – CASE REPORT

Abstract

Discomfort related to the color and shape of teeth has become one of the main reasons patients seek rehabilitative treatment. Therefore, it is particularly challenging when the teeth involved in this disharmony are anterior. The diagnosis of the type of stain will determine the technique that the dentist should use. The choice of material, planning, and execution criteria are extremely important for the success of the procedure. The present study aims to report a clinical case of a patient who attended a dental office in the city of Sobral, Ceará, with an aesthetic complaint. This research adopts a qualitative approach, without a control group, of a narrative nature, with a descriptive and observational purpose, based on a single clinical case sample to be studied. The bibliographic search was carried out in the PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases, related to the restorative technique for darkened teeth using ceramic veneers. The descriptors used were: “tooth whitening,” “dental trauma,” “dental porcelain,” and “endodontics.” The clinical case concerns a 35-year-old female patient, systemically healthy, who attended the dental office complaining about the color and size of her anterior teeth. After a detailed anamnesis, clinical and radiographic examinations, and the patient’s medical history, endodontic treatment was observed in tooth 11, along with coronal discoloration and disharmony in the height/width proportion of teeth 13, 12, 11, 21, 22, and 23. Subsequently, ceramic rehabilitation using lithium disilicate veneers was performed on these dental elements, along with a full metal-free crown and veneer on tooth 11.
