Cosmetic Recontouring And Digital Planning: A Smart Strategy For Aesthetic Transformations

Résumé

Introduction: Cosmetic recontouring is a relevant technique in aesthetic dentistry, standing out for its conservative approach by correcting imperfections in anterior teeth without the need for significant tooth reduction. Digital planning has further enhanced these treatments, enabling greater personalization and precision in the restorative process. Objective: To present the treatment of an incisal edge fracture in anterior teeth using a minimally invasive approach. Case Report: This report describes the treatment of a dental polytrauma involving multiple incisal edge fractures, in which the planning was carried out virtually using the Digital Smile Design (DSD) protocol. Cosmetic recontouring was performed to restore the anterior teeth, using the silicone index technique as a guide. Conclusion: The application of a minimally invasive approach allowed for precise and efficient execution of the restoration, yielding satisfactory aesthetic results while preserving the original tooth structure to the greatest extent possible.
