Abstract
The esthetic treatment of teeth with discoloration is a major challenge in restorative dentistry. In this sense, the use of composite resin veneering techniques associated with the use of opacifying stains allows restorations to be made using a direct technique, which results in less wear to the tooth structure during preparation. Thus, the present study presents a clinical case of a direct composite resin veneer using an association of three opacifying pigments. A 54-year-old male patient presented with severe color change on the central upper left incisor, a report of dental trauma, endodontic treatment, and contraindication for a new internal bleaching protocol. In order to make the direct resin veneer, a mixture of three opacifiers in a fluid consistency was used. To check the value of the applied layer of the mixture, black and white photographs were taken. Layering proceeded with translucent resin layers for the palatal base, opaque dentin resin and translucent achromatic resin for the enamel. As a result, the function and efficacy of the use of the association of opacifying pigments was verified in the resolution of the case. A reevaluation was performed 30 days and 7 months after the restorative procedure, when the color stability of the restoration was verified. This case allows to conclude that using composite resin layering technique associated with the use of opacifying pigments brings satisfactory and favorable aesthetic results through a direct technique, performed in a single clinical session and with high predictability.
