Esthetic transformation of conoid lateral incisors with composite resin and digital planning

Abstract

Objective: the aim of this study is to, based on a review of the literature, relate a clinical case of an esthetic transformation of conoid lateral incisors, through the direct adhesive technique, using composite resins and aid of digital planning. Material and Methods: a literature reasearch was made on electronic databases, including PUBMed and Scielo, with the key terms of (Microdontia) OR (Dental esthetics) AND (Composite Resin OR Composite Resins) AND (Anterior teeth) AND (Digital Smile Design) (Microdontia) AND (Estética Dental) AND (Resina Composta OR Resinas Compostas) AND (Dentes Anteriores). Also, 34 papers were selected after this first filter, in which the full text available was considered of good quality and relevant to the context. The publication time was limited to the 17-year period through 2018. Results: the result of the restorations fulfilled esthetically to the patient’s desires, who demonstrated joy and satisfaction, respecting all the biological principles of a minimally invasive philosophy. Conclusion: it was possible to conclude that this is a minimally invasive technique that preserves health dental structure, with a reduced chair time. In addition, it is an option of low cost for the patient and offers a possibility of reversibility
