Journal Title: Revista Científica do CRO-RJ / Rio de Janeiro Dental Journal - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: The prefabricated composite resin veneers are prepolymerized laminates of composite that appeared in the market to simplify the restorative procedure, reducing working time. They are extremely thin veneers fabricated in several sizes, which allows performing restorations with high aesthetic standard in anterior teeth using a minimally invasive technique. Objectives: This study aimed to show the use of prefabricated resin veneers in the re-anatomization and recovery of dental aesthetics of a young patient with history of fracture and darkening of anterior teeth after aesthetic periodontal surgery. Case report: The patient attended the clinic with a smile complaint and the clinical examination showed tooth 11 with cervical fracture, tooth 21 with color change and caries infiltration, and tooth 22 with inclination of the distal surface toward the palatal region. As treatment, was opted for the use of prefabricated composite resin veneers. Conclusion: The aesthetic results of this case were highly satisfactory, especially when compared with clinical time, cost, and the laboratory work of ceramic veneers, showing the quality and advantages of this material.
