| description | ABSTRACT The gingival contour, the color of the teeth and the presence of interincisal diastema are seen as unsightly factors, being highly harmful from a social point of view. The present study aimed to report a comprehensive and conservative esthetic treatment executed with a multidisciplinary approach in a 20-year-old female patient that presented darkened teeth with poor spacing and excessive gingival display while smiling, as well as present a brief literature review on multidisciplinary approach in esthetic dentistry. After clinical examination and diagnosis, a treatment plan was elaborated to meet the patient’s expectations with a conservative approach. After patient consent, therapy began with supervised home-based tooth whitening with 22% carbamide peroxide applied one hour/daily for 14 days, followed with gingival recontouring surgery and, after a healing period of 30 days, diastemas closure with direct composite resin technique, occlusal adjustment, finishing, and polishing. The multidisciplinary approach was fundamental for the accomplishment of the proposed treatment, achieving satisfactory esthetic and functional results. |
