Abstract
Aesthetic dental procedures are are more and more frequent on a dental practice routine. For many years , the most recomended material to fulfill both patient and professional needs was ceramics. Longitudinal studies involving the effectiveness of composites restorations have been carried out, with the aim of offering a safe and long lasting alternative to the mutilated patient, whether by abrasion, attrition, malocclusion, or dental trauma. Until the nineties, the composite resin was a discredited alternative for recovering severly mutilated anterior teeeth . This happened based on its poor resistance or incompetent bonding , towards the aesthetics and longevity needs to the patient. However , the resistance of resin materials developed in the last 20 years , as well as the greatness of finishing and polishing , made composite resins widely accepted and , therefore, indicated . This study presents a clinical case report carried out at a dental practice, where a severely mutilated dentition due maloclusion was rehabilitated through a semi direct technic , performing adequated aestetic , function and phonetic for the pacient.
