Objective: to review the literature on rehabilitative possibilities for patients with dental erosion. Method: literature screening that followed the principles of the SANRA check list. The search was performed in the BVS (LILACS and BBO), Scielo, Cochrane Library and PubMed databases. English language studies and clinical case reports available in full were included. Articles published until February 2022 and without chronological restriction were searched. Results: among 44 articles identified, 10 were selected. Most studies (40%) were published in Brazil, followed by the United States (20%) and Italy (20%). The rehabilitation possibilities identified were the use of ceramic crowns, ceramic laminates and direct restoration with composite resin. Conclusion: it was possible to verify that the rehabilitation of dental elements with direct materials (composite resins) or indirect (ceramics or ceromers) has shown satisfactory results, according to the clinical cases investigated.

Gingival recession occurs when the gingival margin is located apically to the cementoenamel junction, causing root exposure. This work aims to report a clinical case of restorative treatment of multiple non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL's) with gingival-colored resin, as an alternative approach of restorative procedure in cervical defects associated with gingival recession in the aesthetic area. A patient attended a Clinical-School complaining several NCCL's in addition to Miller's class I gingival vestibular recession in the elements: 13, 21, 22 and 23. Dentin hypersensitivity was absent, however, aesthetic appearance bothered the patient. Presence of occlusal interferences, acid feeding and inadequate brushing habits were observed as important etiological factors for NCCL's and gingival recessions. Periodontal surgery would be the treatment of choice, however, the patient needed orthodontic intervention first to promote dental alignment and correct distribution of the occlusal load. In order to decrease the progression of the lesions during the orthodontic treatment the NCCL's associated with gingival recession were restored with gingival-colored resin. Two colors of pink composite resin (color G3 and G5) were incrementally inserted, promoting a correct emergence profile, taking the resin to the lower cavity limit avoiding aggression to the periodontal tissue. Clinical follow-up of 22 months was favorable due to the appearance of restorations and satisfactory periodontal health. Gingival resin can be assigned to improve the aesthetic effect of the restoration at a low cost and time-saving. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Non-Carious Cervical Lesions are characterized by slow and progressive loss of hard tissue at the level of enamel-cement junction, without bacterial involvement. This work aimed to address a case report of restorative treatment in Class V cavities in multiple premolars using the directindirect technique with composite resin. A 42 year-old male patient presented for esthetic restorative treatment with the complaint of severe dentin hypersensitivity and wedged-shaped non-carious cervical lesions affecting the maxillary premolars. The restorative treatment chosen was a direct-indirect technique with composite performed into three sessions as follows: making the class V composite inlays, cementation, and final polishing. The direct-indirect technique as an alternative to the traditional direct technique has the benefits of a better contour of the restoration, since the finishing and polishing are made extraorally. Besides, the control of the polymerization stress and less discomfort to the patient are other advantages. In the case of direct-indirect class V restoration, the advantages far surpass those of the direct technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Diferentes métodos restauradores podem ser aplicados para a confecção de facetas em resina composta. A técnica direta-indireta eleva as propriedades físicas dos compósitos e com o auxílio de uma guia vestibular pode também aumentar a praticidade e previsibilidade do procedimento restaurador. O objetivo desse trabalho é apresentar um caso de facetas pela técnica direta-indireta reproduzindo com precisão o planejamento já aprovado. Adulto jovem, sexo masculino, procurou o atendimento queixando-se da estética do seu sorriso. Após avaliação optou-se por confeccionar facetas em resina composta nos dentes 13,12, 11, 21, 22, e 23. Nos incisivos utilizou-se a técnica direta convencional e, para os caninos, com a finalidade de garantir o restabelecimento das guias caninas testadas em mock up, decidiu-se pela técnica direta-indireta com o auxílio de guia vestibular. Após confecção de uma guia com o silicone de adição transparente (Elite Glass, Zhermack) e inserção da resina composta regular (Beautifil II, Shofu), cor A2, o conjunto foi levado em boca e fotopolimerizado por 40s. Após acabamento e polimento a cimentação foi realizada com resina composta fluída (Beautifil Flow Plus F03, Shofu), cor A2. Conclui-se que a técnica direta-indireta, conhecida por garantir as boas propriedades mecânicas dos compósitos e minimizar os efeitos da contração de polimerização, pode ser ainda facilitada e garantir a previsibilidade de resultados por meio da utilização de guias baseadas no enceramento diagnóstico testado em boca e aprovado previamente pelo paciente.
