Ceramic systems different in oral rehabilitation: case report.

The aim of this study is to present a clinical case demonstrating the association between different types of restorations and ceramic systems in the smile rehabilitation of a female patient with complaints about the color and and placement of the maxillary anterior elements. On clinical examination it was found metal exposure of the metal-ceramic crown on element 21, darkening and poor positioning of elements 13,12, 22 and 23, as well as, color difference between the teeth. Was proposed as treatment plan the replacement of metal-ceramic crowns by new crowns in the elements 11 e 21, and the making of indirect veneers in ceramic reinforced by lithium dissilicate (IPS e-max Press, Ivoclar Vivadent) on teeth 13, 12, 22 and 23. The association between metal-ceramic crowns and conventional veneers, proved to be a form of effective treatment in the smile rehabilitation, ensuring in the end of the treatment correct color selection, good marginal adaptation of restorations, proper alignment and also good esthetic results and good chewing function , contributing to patient satisfaction.
