In contemporary society, highly competitive and harmonious appearance often means the difference between success and failure, both personally and professionally. Due to the fact that the mouth is located in one of the focal points of the face, the smile is one of the main aspects involved in the concept of a harmonious appearance.
In dentistry , aesthetics represents a constant concern, as well as by the patient or the dentist. Any change in the aesthetic appearance may cause psychological implications that can range from a simple way to hide the defect to the largest introversion.
The dental treatment to restore teeth affected by caries, trauma to teeth too destroyed and has undergone significant changes over the past two decades. These transformations have been generated by the development of dental materials and adhesive system that improve the aesthetics to be free of metal.
Because of this, and to respect patients seeking a cosmetic treatment which achieves harmony and beauty, now used the metal-free restorations also offer wear resistance and durability. The main characteristics of these materials are their aesthetics, biocompatibility, optical properties, color stability and good mechanical strength, all based on proper diagnosis that contraindicate its use.
AESTHETIC RESTORATIONS
Among the restorations are several treatments that are important to know: Crowns and Veneers full porcelain, inlays and fillings in cerómeros resin for anterior and posterior “explains Dr. Maria Gutierrez of Dentistry Integra. The Crown: is a complete replacement artificially in the crown of the tooth, ie the part we see any tooth. is made ??of different materials are chosen depending on the diagnosis and treatment goals. Crowns are indicated when there is great loss of tooth structure , making it impossible to hold any filling or tooth fracture risk for the little remaining tooth.
“To carry out certain dental conditions and assess whether or not to root canal treatment, need to anchor within the alveolar canal (fiberglass bolts) or need any previous surgery on the gums,” said Dr. Jorge Bedoya of Integra Dentistry, who for the performance of Procera crowns â recommended the Nobel Biocare. In this system, the mold is taken to make the crown is scanned by computer and sent to the Nobel in Switzerland, where they do the inside of the crown, after the approval of the initial test calls for the completion of the full porcelain crown. The result is impeccable in the aesthetic and functional. Another treatment are cosmetic veneers.
These are the lining of the buccal surface of the tooth for some aesthetic material may be resin, or porcelain ceromer, usually used to restore anterior teeth that are affected in their integrity, alignment, color or shape. \ “For the success of facet is necessary that the piece has a relatively normal size, with sufficient quantity and thickness of enamel, the patient has good oral hygiene and possibly avoid habits such as bruxism, nail biting, biting, etc. objects. \ “said Dr. Gutierrez. The Porcelain veneers require making a mold that is sent to the laboratory where the veneers are made, leaving a temporary appointment and the following are tested and cemented. To attach the veneer to the tooth wear agent is cementitious adhesives resins or glass ionomer.
Other cosmetic restoration are The inlays, which are indirect fillings, ie is sent to a lab, what is required to take a mold. In the laboratory scale concoct the color chosen and the following quote is attached to the piece with adhesive luting agents. The process is slower and more expensive but more precise and durable. \ “Fouling in laboratory Artglass are resins containing 2/3 of filler and 1/3 of organic matrix and whose curing process is conducted through a heat treatment and absence of oxygen, which gives mechanical properties close to the tooth structure. have good aesthetic properties and durability \ “said the doctor of Dentistry Integra. Finally, in cosmetic restorations are The Composite Resin. These are materials that come in different color schemes to carry them out directly on the tooth, small and uniform layers, which are hardened with an LED light, which does not generate heat thereby avoiding postoperative sensitivity. Then polish and revise the bite, they bind to the tooth (enamel and dentin) via micro mechanical adhesion due to conditioning of the tooth surface.
Since the 60 composite resins have improved greatly in their characteristics retention, strength and aesthetics, making classified into several types according to their composition and indications. “An example of these in the resin of the Coltene Myres which is a light-curing composite, high fill microhybrid, radiopaque restorations that enables excellent esthetic meet the highest expectations, it is used before and after” Dr. Gutierrez said. In Currently there are various treatments and materials that can restore your oral health parameters in form and function, for dentists your smile is our main commitment.
