FACETAS EM DENTES ANTERIORES ESCURECIDOS: revisão de literatura

Abstract

Abstract: This study discusses restorative techniques for darkened anterior teeth, with an emphasis on the use of dental veneers to restore esthetics. Objectives: To evaluate and compare treatment options, such as composite resin and ceramic veneers, and to discuss the causes of tooth darkening and the advantages and disadvantages of each restorative technique. Methodology: A qualitative literature review was carried out on databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed and SciELO, including publications from 2015 to 2024, focusing on procedures to solve tooth darkening. Results: The analysis showed that tooth whitening is a conservative alternative for initial cases, while composite resin veneers offer a quick and affordable solution, with easy repair in cases of damage. Ceramic veneers, on the other hand,provide greater durability and color stability, with a high cost-benefit ratio for long-term aesthetic treatments. Final considerations: It can be concluded that the ideal treatment depends on the characteristics of the darkening and the needs of each patient, with the restorative technique chosen being decisive for a satisfactory and lasting result, requiring specific skills in dental aesthetics from the professional.
