Indirect restoration in composite resin: a clinical report of self-adhesive cementation in deproteinized dentin

Abstract

The use of direct composite resin in restorations is the most common method of rehabilitation. However, its indication becomes critical when the rehabilitation occurs in teeth with wide structural involvement. In such indirect restorations, either partial or total, offers the best aesthetic and functional performance. How to proceed in such situations where there are impossibilities to accomplish this treatment due to high costs of laboratorial steps without losing the aesthetic excellence? This study aims to report and discuss clinical steps to making a indirect restoration in composite resin accomplished in a endodontically treated teeth. It was used contemporary adhesive techniques (deproteination + self-adhesive cementation).
