GINGIVAL CHARACTERIZATION WITH PHOTOPOLYMERIZABLE RESIN IN TOTAL PROSTHESES: CLINICAL CASE REPORT

Despite the advances in dentistry in relation to prevention, there are still many total edentulous patients who seek functional and aesthetic treatments. The present work presents an alternative technique for total dentures with the use of a new system facilitating the gingival characterization, causing it to become more natural, thus passing unnoticed, elevating the patient's self-esteem and well-being. The differential of this new method is the characterization with photopolymerizable resin of the SR NEXCO PASTE (light-cured composite) system, which has several color ranges, facilitating the mimicking of the gingival tissue. The prostheses performed followed the principles of aesthetics, resulting in a very satisfactory result, this material associated to the knowledge of facial aesthetics and smile physiology, makes it possible to obtain favorable conditions for patient satisfaction.
