Características do processo de adesão dental e do comportamento resinoso e as suas influências na contenção periodontal- caso clínico comentado

Abstract

Secondary occlusal trauma is conceptualized as tooth mobility and/or change in tooth position due to decreased bone strength in areas of reduced periodontum. For the treatment of such an alteration, there is an indication of decontamination of the area by scaling, straightening and dental polishing, associated with medication when necessary and, as a complement to the initial treatment, there is also an indication of dental immobilization by periodontal containment. The union of teeth generates an increase in the resistance of the area to the normal forces of mastication and swallowing, because in cases of bone loss, even a physiological force of small magnitude can contribute to the evolution of mobility and this result in tooth loss. In most cases treated, containment is performed using flexible devices adhered to the teeth by means of dental adhesion and increments of photoactivated resin. This work presents a series of considerations about dental adhesion and resin behavior, as well as their potential influences on periodontal containment. A clinical case illustrates the technique.
