Reanatomização de dentes incisivos laterais conoides: comparativo entre resina composta e cerâmica

Abstract

In view of the evolution of restorative materials, which today allow a more natural reproduction of teeth, consumer culture and the influences of society, dentistry is changing the strictly curative focus and is leading to aesthetic rehabilitation. Several factors can interfere with the appearance of the smile, such as dental anomalies, which often require restorative treatment to establish harmony in facial aesthetics, microdontia is an anomaly of size and has as main characteristic teeth with sizes smaller than the average, and within this category we find the conoid teeth. Currently on the market there are some treatment options capable of restoring the morphology of the lateral incisor, they are: ceramic veneers and restorations in resin composed by the direct technique. Thus, this work was carried out through a study on ceramic and composite resin veneers as treatment options for resuscitation of the conoid lateral incisor. The search for information took place through scientific articles available in online databases such as PuBMed, BVS and Google Scholar. According to the reviewed literature, ceramic restoration has advantages when compared to composite resin, mainly in terms of aesthetics and durability. However, there are disadvantages, such as pre-cementing friability, the need for a specialized laboratory and a high cost. The use of direct composite resins, on the other hand, is an effective, viable and low cost means, this technique with resin thus allows restorations to be carried out with minimal or no wear on the healthy dental structure and there is also the possibility of reversibility of treatment, addition or removal of material, if necessary, but this option has a sensitive technique since the clinical failure is mainly associated with the professional's skill. The challenge of the dentist is to choose a treatment that suits the patient's socioeconomic reality, in addition to having mastery over the chosen technique and always advocating the most conservative treatment.
