MORALES-BRAVO, Byron Roberto; PALADINES-CALLE, Stephany Elizabeth  e  PINOS-NARVAEZ, Patricia Alexandra. Dental contact lenses: an alternative aesthetic treatment. Rev. inf. cient. [online]. 2022, vol.101, n.1  Epub 01-Jan-2022. ISSN 1028-9933.

The objective of this report was to present the planning and execution of a rehabilitative treatment with the use of the dental contact lens technique for the aesthetic resolution of the shape and size of the teeth. The case is a 20-year-old male patient who presented dissatisfaction with his smile due to the presence of diastema in the central incisors of the upper arch. An aesthetic treatment was carried out with the use of lithium disilicate dental contact lenses. Minimal wear of the dental surface was implemented, to guarantee a correct insertion and adaptation of the ceramic laminates. After one year of follow-up, no infiltrations, sensitivities or fractures were detected in the teeth rehabilitated with this technique. Among the advantages of dental contact lenses or lumineers, as it is also known, is that it presents a maximum preservation of the dental structure, as well as high levels of aesthetics due to its great translucency and brightness similar to that of natural teeth.

Palavras-chave : dental aesthetics; diastema; ceramics; dental contact lenses.
