Fechamentos de diastemas dos incisivos superiores: relato de caso

Abstract

Introduction: Facial aesthetics and the smile are closely related aspects, therefore, the search for a smile considered beautiful by society is frequent. Some dental changes in shape and size, such as the diastemas in the region of central and lateral maxillary incisors, can compromise not only the smile harmony, but also trigger social and functional problems. Objective: To report a clinical case of closing diastemas involving a multidisciplinary work of plastic gingival surgery and direct restorations with composite resin. Case Report: AMLS patient, 22 years old, female, sought care at the Dental Clinic of the Federal University of Alagoas, complaining of dissatisfaction with her smile. On clinical examination, the presence of a gingival smile and multiple diastemas involving teeth 11, 12, 21 and 22 were observed. Initially, periodontal plastic surgery was performed and then direct restorations with composite resin were performed, with the aid of the matrix of BRB silicone (Bertholdo / Ricci / Barrotte). In the end, an excellent aesthetic result was obtained. Conclusion: Direct restorative treatment with composite resins, when properly indicated and performed correctly, is a good alternative in cases of anterosuperior teeth diastemas. Multidisciplinary interaction was essential for a harmonic smile, guaranteeing a satisfactory aesthetic and functional result.
