Whenever we talk about changes in the aesthetic facet, there are situations that can influence the patient's treatment. However, it is necessary to be concerned about the longevity of the treatment that will be performed. It is essential to provide the prosthetist with forms and conditions so that he can work without generating overcontouring.

To do this, it is very important to consider the thickness of the preparation and the way it is delivered to the prosthetist. The ideal support base should have a minimum thickness of between 1 and 2 mm throughout the ceramic coating. Remember that there may be differences in millimeter measurements depending on the face of the tooth being worked on, which contributes to the resistance of the patient's tooth.

This will help prevent fractures in the prosthesis, and with adequate thickness, we will have less chance of fracture. Depending on the type of fracture that occurs in the ceramic, composite resin restorations can be efficient in repairing the fracture.

When it comes to thermoplastic resins and metal-ceramic prostheses, there is no wear on the vestibular surfaces of patients' teeth. However, thermoplastic resins, over time, show wear on the vestibular surface. In addition, these resins also tend to change color.

If unsatisfactory pigmentation occurs, it is necessary to wear down the vestibular surface of the metal-plastic crown and restore it with composite resin.

It is important for the dentist to have extensive knowledge about the principles of smile aesthetics. In addition, it is essential to understand the patient's expectations regarding their smile.
