TRATAMENTO DE DENTES COM RECESSÃO GENGIVAL E ABRASÃO CERVICAL

Abstract

Purpose: To review the literature and show a case treated by an integrated restorative and periodontal approach. Case description: A treatment of a Miller Class III gingival recession associated with cervical abrasion on his maxillary left canine, which was previously restored with resin composite and covered by a subepthelial connective tissue graft showed improvement of the hypersensitivity and esthetics with no signs of gingival inflammation. Conclusions:  The Miller Class I and II gingival recession with cervical abrasion can be successfully treated associating the defect restoration with the root recover. However, it’s necessary more studies to support these positive results.
