abstract

Tooth loss, darkened teeth, and disproportionate shape and size of teeth can compromise the way an individual sees themselves and their interpersonal relationships. The present study aims to report a case report of a plastic smile. After initial clinical examinations, it was proposed to perform an adhesive-fixed dental prosthesis, fiberglass post-restoration, and direct veneers in resin composite. For tooth 11, which had extensive coronary damage, a fiberglass post-restoration was performed. The fiberglass post was cemented with dual resin cement and the tooth was sculpted using the indirect resin composite technique. For the tooth loss (13), an adhesive fixed dental prosthesis was made of fiberglass, with wear of the abutment teeth (12 and 14) to support the prosthesis. From teeth 14 to 24, wear to veneers was performed. The veneers were implemented with resin composed by the direct hands-free technique. Treatment was completed with occlusal adjustments, finishing, and polishing. Rehabilitation treatment performed emphasizes the importance of associating adequate planning, dentist dexterity, and the choice of materials and techniques used.
