Minimally invasive intervention in a case of a noncarious lesion and severe loss of tooth structure

Abstract

The present article describes a minimally invasive technique used for the restoration of loss of tooth structure caused by erosion of intrinsic etiology. First, the cause of erosion was treated and controlled. Subsequently, taking into consideration patient characteristics, especially a young age, a more conservative technique was chosen for dental rehabilitation with the use of composite resin. The advantages and disadvantages of the technique employed are discussed. © 2012 Operative Dentistry, Inc.
