Facetas e fechamento de diastemas em resina composta: relato de caso clínico

Abstract

The composition of narrow teeth combined with large spacing between dental elements can cause an aesthetic disarrangement, discovering the etiology is one of the main steps when thinking about planning this treatment so that we can give the correct proportion and harmony to the smile. This work aimed to make a case report in which facets were made in composite resin from element 13 to 23 in order to close the diastemas present in the region and in order to create a more harmonious anatomy for the smile. A 20-year-old male patient with no systemic alteration sought treatment with the main complaint being ''small teeth with very large spaces between them''. After the clinical examinations were carried out, it was decided to carry out direct restorations in composite resin from element 13 to 23. The most indicated treatment in cases of diastema is the realization of direct restorations in composite resin, as it is cost-effective. Finally, we concluded that in this case, performing the veneers was of paramount importance to remedy the patient's dissatisfactions, which were important not only aesthetically, but also resulting in an impact on self-esteem.
