Reabilitação estética anterior com prótese metalocerâmica dento-gengival

Abstract

The esthetic defect caused by the lack of support established by bone and gingival tissue requires some surgical interventions. However, the impossib ility of grafting due to systemic conditions or financial issues require a new approach to esthetic rehabilitation through prosthetics. The objective of this paper is to describe a case report on the use of partial fixed metal ceramic prosthesis with ceram ic gingiva, as esthetic rehabilitation in the anterior maxilla region. The vertical dimension of occlusion and the patient's labial support were restored, improving the aged appe a r ance, still in the provisional prosthesis phase. It was made metallic infras tructure covered by feldspathic ceramics, from the selection of appropriate colors to the patient. The design of the prosthesis included a gum area with mucosa like staining of t h e patient. This prosthetic modality was a more accessible option, since previ ous surgical treatment was contraindicated.
