CEROPLASTY IN AESTHETIC PLANNING FOR THE EXECUTION OF INDIRECT FACETS

Abstract

The aim of this study was to describe the use of wax surgery in aesthetic planning for the execution of indirect facets. For this article, the databases of the Virtual Health Library (VHL), PubMed, Scielo and Google Scholar were used. The following descriptors were used, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, respectively: “Escultura” OR “sculpture” OR “escultura”; “estética dentária” OR “esthetics, dental” OR “estética dental”; “facetas dentárias” OR “dental veneers” OR “coronas con frente estético”; “educação em odontologia” OR “education, dental” OR “educación en odontología”; “anatomia artística” OR “anatomy, artistic” OR “anatomía artística”; “destreza motora” OR “motor skills” OR “destreza motora”. The use of wax surgery in aesthetic planning for the execution of facets followed six steps: Alignment, Convergences; Description; Checking premature contacts and point of contact; Finishing and polishing. It was concluded that the use of wax surgery in aesthetic planning for the execution of indirect facets is satisfactory, enabling the simulation of clinical practice and planning. It was an easy technique to reproduce and allowed excellent preview.
