Componeer : Esthetic correction with Minimal Interventional approach
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Cosmetic dentistry is generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance (though not necessarily the functionality) of teeth, gums and/or bite. It primarily focuses on improving dental aesthetics in color, position, shape, size, alignment and overall smile appearance. Veneering is a minimally invasive restorative procedure for anterior teeth where buccal surface of tooth is involved and clinical need is mainly about improving the esthetics . This technique was introduced by Dr. Pincus as early as 1937 (1). Veneering can be done by ceramics or by composites. Componeer is a preformed composite laminate with high gloss buccal surface for patients where estheic correction is required for anterior teeth. It combines the skill of the operating dentist and preformed art thus reducing the chaos of tooth build up, by sensitively tiring direct composite technique. When a composite is added to the internal surface of the componeer laminate and light cured, it is just as if the two materials were layered freehand on the tooth. This article describes the steps for componeer placement and two cases where anterior esthetic correction was done using composite laminates.
