Abstract

Introduction: The smile has great impact on human life, affecting social life up from the professional relationship. Thus, the current Aesthetic Dentistry has evolved in seeking restorative materials and techniques that can mimitize the natural appearance of teeth. Significant advances were achieved with the introduction of nanotechnology in dental composite resines, giving rise to the current nanoparticles resin. The present study aims to address the current performance of nanoparticles composites for the realization of large esthetic restorations in anterior teeth, as well as their influence in restoring morpho-functional and aesthetic parameters. Objective: Verify the capacity and restorative potential of the composite resins in the anterior teeth, where the aesthetics is a primordial requirement, through the treatment of two clinical cases. To describe and demonstrate the correct operating technique to restore teeth, by the use of stratification technique. Material and methods: Presentation of two clinical cases attended at University Clinic of the Catholic Portuguese University – Centro Regional das Beiras. Description of the materials and the methods proposed for the approach of these clinical cases. Results: In both clinical cases the operative technique led to the therapeutic success, with patient satisfaction. Conclusion: From the results, it was concluded that the nanoparticle resins are a good restorative material in clinical situations, where severe damage as to be aesthetical obtured.
