Oral rehabilitation through multiple interventions: case report

Abstract

Brazil’s have a great demand for dental care due to a series of oral compromises, which end up harming the patient's physical and emotional well-being, directly influencing their quality of life. The main compromise is esthetic, given by edentulism that can be caused by several factors, being the main caries, characterized by the destruction of healthy dental tissues by the combination of the triad: microorganism, susceptibility and time. Another major factor is periodontal disease, which consists of inflammation and destruction of the supporting tissues of teeth affected by microorganisms present in the area, evolving into dental mobility, ultimately causing tooth loss. Such conditions require multiple intervention, through the restorative process, associated with scraping and finally rehabilitation with the use of dental prostheses. The objective of this study is to report the case of a patient with aesthetic and functional oral impairment due to chronic periodontitis, caries lesions and poorly adapted partial prosthesis. He received multidisciplinary interventions for his oral rehabilitation. In conclusion, the importance of a thorough evaluation to develop the appropriate treatment plan was verified, and multiple treatment may be necessary in different areas of dentistry, always taking into consideration individualities, such as patient expectations and biological issues, considering the impact on quality of life and self-esteem as a subjective and fundamentally important factor to achieve treatment success.
