Abstract:

Aim: Direct or indirect laminate veneers, all ceramic restorations can be used for the treatment of enamel hypoplasia. The aim of this case report is to present the aesthetic rehabilitation of patient with band-shaped enamel hypoplasia on upper and lower anterior teeth with composite laminate veneer restorations. Methodology: A 21-year-old patient referred to our clinic with aesthetic complaints arising from teeth malformation and band-shaped enamel discolorations on upper and lower anterior teeth. In the intro-oral examination, the reason for the complaints was determined to be caused by band-shaped enamel hypoplasia and treatment options were explained. The patient preferred composite laminate veneer restorations due to the ease of application and economic reasons. External stains were removed with polishing and defective enamel were removed carefully. Enamel surfaces were etched selectively and adhesive system was applied (Single Bond Universal, 3M ESPE). A resin composite (Estelite Sigma Quick, Tokuyama Dental) was applied with incremental technique and polymerized. Restorations were finished and polished with fine diamond burs and Sof-lex discs (Sof-lex, 3M ESPE). Conclusion: Use of composite resin restorations is a fast, easily applicable and economic treatment alternative for the aesthetic rehabilitation of hypolastic defects. Functionally and aesthetically satisfying results can be obtained with composite restorations.
