Procedimentos restauradores iniciais realizados previamente ao tratamento endodôntico em dentes com perdas estruturais significativas – um capítulo de livro

Abstract

Clinical situations involving teeth with extensive tissue destruction and pulp involvement pose a great risk of dental loss by fracture due to the fragility of the dental remnant. In addition, in some cases, treatment needs approaches and procedures of various dental specialties: endodontics, dentistry and periodontics. In public dental services, such situations require integrated and complex planning involving two stages of oral health care (primary and secondary) that, due to the reference model and counter -referencing between the Family Health Centers (CSF) and the dental specialties centers (CEO), the high demand of patients and the restricted offer of vacancies in the service generate long waiting periods to complete treatment. The main reason for the elaboration and publication of a didactic book to be used as a complementary study material in the undergraduate dental course at the Federal University of Ceará - Sobral Campus is to bring a discussion about the importance of the recovery of tooth reinforcement structures Through clinical cases, involving specialties in an integrated manner from planning to completion. Thus, the objective of this paper is to present Chapter 5 - “Initial Restorative Procedures” of the book “Integrated Dentistry - Restorative and Surgical Procedures Prior to Endodontic Treatment” that refers and presents in detail one of the treatment phases of some specific clinical situations and which was produced by students with teaching supervision, enabling more and better alternatives for the teaching and learning process in dentistry.
