Use of ceramic laminates to improve quality of life and dental aesthetics - case report

Abstract

The growing search for self-esteem has directly interfered with dental aesthetics. Several areas of dentistry such as facial harmonization, dental prosthesis, and restorative dentistry have been improving their techniques to meet the growing needs of the dental market. In this sense, ceramic laminates and veneers have been sought after, as they are characterized by a thin layer of ceramic that covers the buccal surface of the teeth, improving the shape, color and harmony of the smile, the functionality of the teeth and consequently increasing the patients' self-esteem. In this context, the present work aims to report a clinical case where ceramic laminates were used to improve dental aesthetics. However, the use of this treatment helped to improve both the aesthetics and the function of the patient, generating better self-esteem and quality of life.
