CLINICAL CASE REPORT

FULL MOUTH ORAL REHABILITATION WITH DIRECT ADHESIVE RESTORATIONS, APPLYING THE ADDITIVE PHILOSOPHY.

AUTHOR: Dr. Mónica Lucía González Montero, M.D.

Reason for Consultation: 55 year old female patient, who comes to consultation asking for a second concept because her rheumatologist doctor indicates her to perform exodontia of all her teeth, as part of the treatment of all her systemic problems, which include Lupus, hemolytic anemia, Sjögren’s Syndrome, thyroid problems and herpes zoster of recent appearance.

Clinical Evaluation: The patient wishes to keep most of her teeth, knowing the oral problems that have been generated by her systemic condition, which has allowed the development of carious cervical lesions due to decreased salivary flow and continued medication intake. A complete evaluation of her oral health was performed, determining that a maximum preservation treatment could be performed, avoiding endodontic treatments, with an exhaustive follow-up of her oral hygiene and the preservation of the 12, with endodontics and fiberglass post and the planning of a full mouth rehabilitation with composite resin, including the crown of the 12 with polymeric material. All the necessary treatment is carried out without generating costs to the patient, with academic objectives and to support her in the process of restoring her health, which has been very satisfactory.

Objective of the Clinical Case: The biological, esthetic and functional objectives are met, using adhesive restorations in direct technique, with layering technique with opacifier, dentines and enamels of Zafira resin from New Stetic Company, including the crown of tooth 12 by indirect technique, with the same material.

Step by Step:

Advances in composite resin technology, the optimization of its properties and the development of new adhesive techniques have made its use increasingly reliable and of greater longevity.

1, Initial situation: Multiple carious lesions caused by xerostomia and difficulty in oral hygiene management. Presence of composite resin restorations with microleakage and coronal fracture of tooth 12 with pulp exposure but without presence of symptomatology.

2. In the initial radiographic analysis there was an absence of apical lesions and the need for endodontic treatment of 12. The endodontist performed the treatment of the exposed canal which was obliterated, which generated great difficulty and initial deviation of the instruments, direction that was retaken and could be performed satisfactorily without perforation of the canal (See in the radiography of the periapical set).

3. A fiberglass post was made in die # 12, which was cemented and reconstructed with Coltene’s Paracore system. The crown was made by indirect method by means of analogous impression, using Zafira resin, placing Dentin A3 in the bottom and enamel A2 and A1 in the external area.  The adhesive used was Zafira Bond, rubbed for 20 seconds, aerated for 20 seconds and polymerized for 20 seconds.

4. The other resins were made with B-OP Opacifier in the background, A2 Dentin and A2 and A1 Enamel according to the color intensity of the restored area.

5. Palatal and lingual areas of the restored teeth. Tooth 41, which had a large amount of caries, was treated with glass ionomer as a cavity base and placed under observation.

6. Before and after the restorations performed.

7. Upper and lower arch finished with direct restorations. Polishing with the 3M Soflex and Soflex spiral disc system.

8.  Case Completed.  polished restorations and occlusion control. 

FINAL RESULT :  Mimic restorations with different opacities to mask the pigmentations of the substrate, creation of functional morphology and marginal sealing of the cervical areas and polymeric reconstruction with prefabricated post of tooth #12.
