Uso da porcelana na reabilitação de dentes com lesão não cariosa: relato de caso.

Abstract

Non-carious Lesions (NCL) are an irreversible loss of dental structure without the involvement of bacterial action, have a complex and multifactorial etiology and have as main factors of the process of tooth decay the erosion, stress (abfraction) and friction (abrasion). They are easily recognized during routine dental care practices, with high prevalence, which reaches up to 85%. The aim of this study is to present a case report of rehabilitation of anterior dental elements (13 to 23) that present noncarious lesions, using porcelain as restorative material. The 34-year-old male patient came to the dental office complaining about the aesthetic appearance of his smile and the wear on the anterior teeth, where it began treatment by conducting anamnesis, clinical examination and case planning. Bisacrylic resin (Protemp 3M) veneers were made using a silicon mold for the restorative test and, after patient approval, the lithium disilicate full veneer ceramic veneers were cemented with Z-100 composite resin (3M ESPE ) heated to 68 ° C, where it was possible to provide occlusal adjustment and functional and aesthetic rehabilitation of the patient's smile. It was concluded that the knowledge of the dentist about the characteristics of non-carious lesions, mastery of the techniques, as well as the properties and limitations at the time of choosing the restorative material is essential for the clinical protocol to be correctly performed, thus ensuring longevity of treatment and increased clinical success.
