• Abstract:

  Goal: Dental aesthetic dissatisfaction is strongly related to darkened teeth, stained restorations and deficient anatomy. Identifying these factors and associating them with the patient's expectations along with the particularities of the case is the key to the success and longevity of any dental treatment. Case report: Female patient, 27 years old, sought dental care in a private office with aesthetic complaints of darkened anterior teeth and stains between the posterior teeth. After carrying out clinical and radiographic examinations and extra and intraoral photographs, digital planning and analog wax-up were carried out and approved by the mock-up test. The treatment involved class II type restorations on upper premolars and composite resin veneers combining two restorative techniques, direct technique (teeth 13 to 23) and direct-indirect technique (teeth 14-15, 24-25). Advantages and Limitations: The use of the direct-indirect restorative technique allows for better visualization and precision of the work, care for the gingival tissues and peace of mind for the patient, considering that part of the procedure is carried out outside the mouth, on the other hand, a greater learning curve is necessary to the execution and agility in completing the restorative procedure. Conclusion: Optimizing the resolution of complex aesthetic cases using combined restorative techniques that are versatile and resolving greatly assists in the planning and execution of clinical cases with assertiveness and predictability.
