RESUMO
O anseio por um sorriso harmônico tem se tornado cada vez maior, uma vez que muitos pacientes relatam desconforto ao sorrir, pois correlacionam a estética do sorriso a problemas de baixa autoestima e em alguns casos suscetibilidade a alterações psicossociais decorrente aos padrões estéticos impostos pela sociedade. O sorriso gengival é uma das grandes queixas relatadas por pacientes. A exposição excessiva de gengiva maxilar pode ser decorrente a fatores gengivais, ósseos, dentários e musculares. Dentre os tratamentos disponíveis para diminuir essa exposição, contamos com cirurgias periodontais, aplicação de toxina botulínica, tratamentos ortodônticos, cirurgia ortognática e reposicionamento labial. O tratamento adequado será definido de acordo com o fator etiológico de cada caso. Diante disso o objetivo do trabalho é realizar um relato de caso sobre aumento de coroa clínica estética. A paciente estava descontente com a exibição de uma grande quantidade gengival ao sorrir. Após estudos clínicos e de imagem o diagnóstico foi de erupção passiva alterada, tipo IB. O tratamento de escolha foi a gengivoplastia associada a remodelação óssea osteotomia e osteoplastia. O tratamento estético vai além de uma boa aparência, através deste trabalho, foi possível evidenciar impactos benéficos que o sorriso harmônico pode acarretar na vida do indivíduo, atendendo suas expectativas e a do cirurgião-dentista(AU)
The desire for a harmonic smile has become increasing, since many patients report discomfort when smiling, as they correlate smile aesthetics to problems of low self-esteem and in some cases susceptibility to psychosocial changes due to aesthetic standards imposed by society. Gummy smile is one of the major complaints reported by patients. Excessive exposure of the maxillary gingiva may be due to gingival, bone, dental and muscular factors. Among the treatments available to reduce this exposure, we have periodontal surgeries, botulinum toxin application, orthodontic treatments, orthognathic surgery and lip repositioning. The appropriate treatment will be defined according to the etiological factor of each case. Therefore, the objective of this work is to carry out a case report on aesthetic clinical crown augmentation. Patient discount with the display of a large amount of gingival when smiling. After clinical and imaging studies, the diagnosis was an altered passive eruption, type IB. The treatment of choice was gingivoplasty associated with bone remodeling, osteotomy and osteoplasty. Final comments and conclusions: The aesthetic treatment goes beyond a good appearance, through this work, it was possible to evidence beneficial impacts that the harmonic smile can have on the individual's life, meeting their expectations and that of the dentist(AU)

RESUMO
A Odontologia Estética baseia- se em princípios de estética com condutas e técnicas de procedência lógica, como também intuitiva, para planejar um sorriso harmônico. Com seu atual perfil mais conservador atrelado às inúmeras ferramentas disponíveis no mercado, é possível arquitetar procedimentos priorizando o sucesso do tratamento, restabelecendo a função e harmonia, com maior segurança e previsibilidade. O fluxo digital inclui Softwares e equipamentos automatizados que podem otimizar o tempo clínico, apresentando benefícios tanto para o Cirurgião Dentista como para o paciente. Atualmente, o DSD (digital smile design) tem sido utilizado como um recurso de grande destaque para a Odontologia reabilitadora, pois, possibilita um planejamento mais minucioso em cada estágio do tratamento reabilitador estético com o uso de desenhos e linhas de referência para comparações entre as imagens geradas do antes e depois, avaliando se concordam com o planejamento e anseios do profissional e do paciente, ou se serão necessárias modificações. Com isso, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre os avanços do fluxo de trabalho digital em reabilitação oral estética, analisando-se a influência na qualidade do atendimento atrelado ao conforto dos pacientes. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura nas bases de dados PubMed, Scielo e Wiley Library, utilizando os descritores "Digital Smile Design", "Dental Esthetic," EstheticTreatment". Foram buscados artigos entre 2009 até 2022. Com base na revisão de literatura, foi possível concluir que a técnica se apresenta como uma ferramenta valiosa para tratamentos restauradores, otimizando a compreensão das dificuldades estéticas e aumentando a aceitação do tratamento pelo paciente. E, por trás destes resultados, existem diversas variáveis influenciando-os, como a maior previsibilidade dos procedimentos, reduzindo o tempo para a finalização, além de trabalhos mais conservadores, com estrutura dental preservada.
Esthetic dentistry is based on aesthetic principles with logical, also intuitive procedures and techniques, in order to plan a harmonic smile. With its more consecutive current profile linked to the numerous tools available on the market, it is possible to design procedures prioritizing the success of the treatment restoring the function and harmony with greater safety and predictability. The digital flow includes software and automated equipment that can optimize clinical time, presenting benefits for both, the dental surgeon and the patient. Currently, the DSD (digital smile design) has been used as a resource of great prominence for Rehabilitative Dentistry, because it allows a more detailed planning in each stage of the aesthetic rehabilitation treatment with the use of drawings and reference lines, in order to compare between the images generated before and after the procedure, assessing whether they are in accordance with the planning and desires of the professional and the patient, or if modifications are necessary. With this, the objective of the present work was to carry out a literature review of the advances in the digital workflow in aesthetic oral rehabilitation. Analyzing the influence on the quality of care linked to the comfort of patients. A literature review was carried out in PubMed, Scielo and Wiley Library databases, using the descriptors "Digital Smile Design", "Dental Esthetic", "Esthetic Treatment". Articles were searched between 2009 and 2022. Based on the literature revie, it was possible to conclude that the technique presents itself as a valuable tool for restorative treatments, optimizing the understanding of aesthetic difficulties and increasing the acceptance of the treatment by the patient. And, behind these results, there are several variables influencing them, such as greater predictability of procedures, reducing the time for completion in addition to more conservative works, with preserved tooth structure.
RESUMO
Objective@#To investigate the effect of the socket-shield technique (SST) concurrent with immediate implant placement and provisionalization (IIPP) in the aesthetic restoration of anterior teeth.@*Methods@#A case of maxillary anterior tooth stumps with a thin labial bone wall was treated with SST for preservation of labial soft and hard tissue fullness, combined with an immediate implant placement and immediate provisional crown for restoring the shape of the tooth and gingival molding@*Results@#Immediate implant placement and provisionalization restored the morphology and function of the affected tooth in the shortest possible time. The patient's labial soft and hard tissue contours in the affected tooth area were well preserved in the 18-month follow-up after the application of the SST, which presented a better aesthetic result. The literature review indicates that the indications for SST are unrestorable maxillary anterior teeth, whose dental, periodontal and periapical tissues are healthy and intact. In the esthetic zone, root shielding is effective in maintaining the soft and hard tissue contour on the labial side of the implant. However, there is no consensus on the technical details of SST, such as the ideal coronal height and thickness of the shield, and the management of the gap between the shield and the implant. Thus, more clinical studies and histologic evidence are needed to provide a reference for clinical decision-making. In addition, digital technology can improve the accuracy of implant placement and shield preparation.@*Conclusion@#The correct application of SST combined with IIPP in the esthetic zone can ensure esthetic results. However, more high-quality evidence-based medical evidence is needed for its long-term efficacy, and indications should be strictly controlled during clinical application.

Grampos DentáriosRESUMO
Background: Dental caries is the most prevalent disease in humans, especially during early childhood. The restoration of such an extensive carious lesion should be done properly to reestablish their anatomy and hence their masticatory, phonetic, esthetic, and space-maintainer functions in the dental arches. Composite resins are the most commonly used tooth-colored restorative material, but many difficulties occur particularly when used directly in posterior restorations. The objective of the study was to compare the clinical effectiveness of the Modified Open Sandwich Technique and Conventional Composite Resin Restoration for managing class II caries on primary molars. Material & Methods: This was a randomized control trial and was conducted in the Department of Pedodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from October, 2021 to September, 2022. In our study we included 68 patients with proximal dental caries of primary molars with reversible pulpitis. The patients were divided by using random sampling technique into two groups – Group A (The modified open sandwich technique, n=34) and Group B (The conventional composite resin restoration, n=34). Results: In total 68 patients from both the groups completed the study. In our study we found mean±SD of age was 5.37±1.24 years. 76.5% of cases of the modified open sandwich technique restorations were & 82.4% of the conventional composite resin restoration were < 6 years. Mandibular primary molars were 64.7% and 53% for the modified open sandwich technique and conventional composite resin restoration respectively. Conventional composite resin restorations showed 32.4% postoperative sensitivity and the modified open sandwich technique restorations showed 11.8%. After 12 months of follow-up, no secondary caries developed. Good marginal adaptation in 100% of cases were found in the modified open sandwich technique and 88.2% for conventional composite restorations. Conclusion: In our study we found that postoperative sensitivity developed more in conventional composite restorations in comparison to the modified open sandwich technique. Initially marginal adaptation showed better in the modified open sandwich method technique. So, conventional and modified open sandwich composite resin techniques were acceptable for primary molar teeth considering secondary caries and marginal adaptation
RESUMO
Therapeutic options for incisors affected by Molar Incisor Hypomineralization range from very conservative procedures to those considered to be more invasive. Clinicians must select the appropriate approach, considering the outcomes of the procedures. This case series presents clinical outcomes of five female patients with aesthetic complaints associated with the Molar Incisor Hipomineralization. Macroabrasion, microabrasion and dental vital bleaching were used as combination techniques in three cases. Resin infiltration was indicated for a specific case, considering the oncoming orthodontic treatment. Composite restoration was performed in one patient with posteruptive enamel breakdown. Clinicians must select the appropriate approach according to an individualized evaluation of each case, considering factors such as the patient's expectations, dental age, psychosocial period, the severity of the condition, presence of sensitivity and the presumed aesthetic result of the selected treatment. The advantages and disadvantages of the techniques are presented.

Background: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to answer the questions ''Does lip repositioning surgery reduce the amount of gingiva exposed in the smile in individuals with excessive gingival display EGD (excessive gingival display)?'' and ''Is the reduction of the amount of gingiva exposed when smiling obtained with lip repositioning surgery stable over time?'' to evaluate the effectiveness of lip repositioning surgery for correcting EGD on smiling. Materials and Methods: A systematic structured search was carried out in five databases without data restriction. Studies reporting the degree of reduction in gingival ex-posure after lip repositioning surgery were included. Study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment were performed in duplicate Results: One hundred sixty-four references were retrieved and eleven studies met the eligibility criteria. Meta-analysis demonstrated that lip repositioning surgery results in a significant reduction in the amount of exposed gingival tissue (mean difference = -3.03; confidence interval = -3.55; -2.52). In addition, the results remained stable in the evaluated follow-up periods (1, 3, 6 and 12 months). Included studies had a low risk of bias. Conclusions: Lip repositioning surgery is effective for the treatment of EGD on smiling and exhibits stable results in the evaluated periods. The study was registered (CRD42020184866) in the international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO)

Introduction: The demand for cosmetic dentistry is a growing trend globally. Increased media coverage, availability of free online information, and the improved economic status of the general population have led to an increase in the patient’s aesthetic expectations. Since no study has measured the relationship between the economic status of people and the choice of cosmetic dentistry in Iran and due to the growing demand for it, this study was designed. Method: In this descriptive epidemiological study, we visited three completely different areas in terms of Socioeconomic status (SES) in Tehran. A checklist was used to record the gender, job, age, education level, maternal status, and source of payment for cosmetic dentistry treatment. Result: The majority of the volunteers for dental cosmetic restoration were 23?26 years. Of 498 cosmetic restoration volunteers, 50 were men and 448 were women. As for the education level, most of the participants had a high school diploma. The cost of cosmetic restoration of 351 patients (70%) was paid by the parents or the spouse, and 147 patients paid the cost from their income. Our study showed that 7% of visits to dental clinics were only for cosmetic treatment demands in Tehran in 2021. Conclusion: Type of job, education level, and marital status had no significant relationship with the choice of cosmetic treatment while age had a significant relationship with the choice of cosmetic dental restoration treatment. In addition, the choice of cosmetic dental treatment was completely related to gender, and women were the main users of it.
RESUMO
To determine the clinical performance of zirconia abutment (ZA) by comparing with a titanium abutment (TA) and sub?mucosal?modified zirconia abutment. A systematic search was conducted to retrieve eligible randomised controlled trials (RCTs) from Medline, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. A search was further divided in two parts. Part I comprises eligible RCTs between zirconia abutment and titanium abutment, and part II included RCTs of zirconia abutment with sub?mucosal modified, pink?veneered glass ceramic versus non?veneered zirconia abutment. Esthetic, biological, and abutment survival was a primary outcome, and technical complications were included as an additional outcome. Fifteen eligible RCTs (Part I: N = 9 and Part II: N = 6) were evaluated, and a total of 362 abutments in 364 subjects were analysed for outcome variables. A sub?group meta?analysis reported no significant difference for Esthetic outcome. However, the overall mean (p =0.03) was higher for zirconia group in those of thin gingival phenotype. Spectrophotometric evaluation of peri?implant mucosal Esthetic does not show any significant difference. Similarly, pink?veneered versus non?veneered group reported no significant difference for thin (<2 mm) and thick (>2 mm) mucosal attachment. Biological outcome does not show any significant difference for comparable groups in both parts. There is marginally lower abutment survival for internally connected zirconia abutment (ZA: 95.4% TA: 100%). Zirconia abutment exhibited excellent Esthetic compared to titanium abutment in those of thin gingival phenotype. Sub?mucosa veneering of zirconia abutment with pink glass c
RESUMO
ABSTRACT Introduction: Although the superiority of clear aligners over multi-bracket appliances in keeping gingiva healthy has been suggested, the possible benefits of one aligner design over another have not yet been investigated, especially with regard to the vestibular edge. Objective: The aim of this study was to measure several periodontal indexes in adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment with aligners, comparing two different types of rim. Methods: The study involved 43 patients aged between 14 and 18 years. The periodontal health was assessed using plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and gingival bleeding index (GBI), at the start of the treatment with aligners (T0), with a vestibular rim (VR) reaching up to 3 mm beyond the gingival margin. Three months later (T1), aligners were set to obtain a juxtagingival rim (JR) on the second quadrant and VR on the first quadrant. The periodontal indexes were measured again, both at T1 and then three months later (T2). Results: Intra-quadrant comparisons revealed a statistically significant worsening of the periodontal indexes only for the second quadrant (p<0.05), at T1 (GI), and especially at T2 (PI, GI, GBI), while no statistically significant changes were found for the first quadrant. Conclusions: More severe mechanical irritation, especially during insertion and removal of the aligner, can explain the worsening inflammatory indexes with the JR. In addition, the pressure exerted by the JR on the gingival sulcus seemed to facilitate plaque deposition, whereas the VR had a protective effect, reducing the risk of mechanical trauma.
RESUMO Introdução: Embora se alegue uma superioridade dos alinhadores transparentes sobre os aparelhos multibraquetes em manter a gengiva saudável, ainda não foram investigados os possíveis benefícios de um modelo de alinhador sobre outro, especialmente no que diz respeito à borda vestibular. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi medir vários índices periodontais em adolescentes submetidos a tratamento ortodôntico com alinhadores, comparando dois tipos diferentes de borda. Métodos: O estudo envolveu 43 pacientes com idade entre 14 e 18 anos. A saúde periodontal foi avaliada por meio do índice de placa (IP), índice gengival (IG) e índice de sangramento gengival (ISG), ao início do tratamento com alinhadores (T0), com borda vestibular (BV) estendendo-se até 3 mm além da margem gengival. Três meses depois (T1), os alinhadores foram ajustados para se obter uma borda justagengival (BJ) no segundo quadrante e BV no primeiro quadrante. Os índices periodontais foram medidos novamente tanto em T1 quanto três meses depois (T2). Resultados: As comparações intraquadrantes revelaram uma piora estatisticamente significativa nos índices periodontais apenas para o segundo quadrante (p<0,05), em T1 (IG) e especialmente em T2 (IP, IG, ISG), enquanto nenhuma mudança estatisticamente significativa foi encontrada para o primeiro quadrante. Conclusões: Irritações mecânicas mais intensas, principalmente durante a inserção e remoção do alinhador, podem explicar a piora dos índices inflamatórios com a BJ. Além disso, a pressão exercida pela BJ no sulco gengival pareceu facilitar a deposição de placa, enquanto a BV teve um efeito protetor, reduzindo o risco de trauma mecânico.
RESUMO
Implant treatment in the esthetic area requires stable osseointegration and successful esthetic outcomes. Achieving this goal requires careful consideration of accurate implant axis and ideal three-dimensional position. Owing to the high esthetics and the special anatomical structure of the maxillary, a successful implant means a synthesized deli-beration of the residual bone dimensions, soft-tissue thickness, and the relationship of the residual alveolar ridge with the planned restoration. This article offers an in-depth analysis of the clinical decisions and key factors affecting the implant direction in the esthetic area.

@#Gingival recessions (GRs) result in root hypersensitivity, root surface caries, and esthetic problems. Various root coverage surgeries are being developed for periodontal plastic therapy. The tunnel technique (TUN) is one of the most widely applied surgeries due to its features of being minimally invasive, practical, excellent outcomes and long-term stability; however, there are still some limitations of this technique. The history and evolution from the envelope flap to TUN, including its efficiency when compared with coronally advanced flaps with a connective tissue graft (CTG), are reviewed in this paper. The limitations of TUN are discussed in consideration of our clinical experience; for example, there is high technique sensitivity when TUN is applied in GR>5 mm because of the great difficulty in covering the grafts. The advantages of surgical access, including vertical incisions in the vestibule, “W” type and pinhole access, are discussed for different situations. Mattress sutures and sling sutures in a single tooth or multiple teeth are applied in TUN. The different types of grafts, such as CTG, platelet-rich plasma, articular dermal matrix and xenogeneic collagen matrix, are described. Mechanical, chemical and biological conditioning of the root surface are recommended during surgery. Protecting the surgical area and taking antibiotics postoperatively are also very important. Finally, the modifications when TUN is applied with other kinds of techniques are discussed, including lateral closed TUN, laterally positioned flaps, double papilla flaps and frenuloplasty. Minimally invasive, esthetic, long-term stability and simplified techniques are the development trends of TUN in the future.
RESUMO
@#After tooth extraction, labial contour collapses due to inevitable physiologic bone remodeling. To achieve optimal outcomes for pink esthetic treatment at anterior implant sites, bone or soft tissue augmentation has been advocated to maintain or reconstruct the labial tissue contour. When choosing soft tissue augmentation for esthetic restoration, it is necessary to strictly grasp the indications for surgery. Soft tissue augmentation to maintain or reconstruct the labial tissue contour could be considered in patients with healthy soft tissue and no bone defects or only mild horizontal bone defects. In immediate, early and late implant placement, the timing of soft tissue augmentation may vary. In immediate implantation, the labial bone plate is intact, so it is highly recommended to simultaneously manage soft tissue during implant placement. However, patients may have large bone defects with early or late implant placement. The risk of augmenting bone and soft tissue simultaneously is likely too high, and bone augmentation surgery is often performed at the first stage while soft tissue augmentation surgery is performed at the second stage. Therefore, soft tissue surgery is often carried out simultaneously with abutment connection. Currently, soft tissue augmentation is achieved mostly with adjacent autologous soft tissue grafts, such as free gingival grafts, subepithelial connective tissue grafts or pedicle palatal flaps, which are often accompanied by a second surgical area. The replacement of autogenous soft tissue grafting with new biological materials will become an inevitable trend. In this article, we analyze and summarize the indications, timing and different methods of soft tissue augmentation to maintain and reconstruct the labial contour.

Objective@#To explore the ideal sagittal position of the lower third of the face in high-angle patients with different forehead forms and to provide a reference for clinical treatment. @*Methods@#Informed consent and portrait authorization were obtained from all patients, and the study passed the ethical review of the unit. We categorized forehead forms into four types: straight, rounded, type I angular (angled at the middle third of the forehead) and type II angular (angled at the upper third of the forehead). Profiles of high-angle patients with different forehead forms were collected. The initial position was when the facial axis point (FA point) was positioned at the goal anterior-limit line (GALL). After being silhouetted, the lower third of the face was moved forward and backward by 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm each, plus the initial silhouetted picture, to obtain 9 images for each patient. A survey was created with these lateral profile silhouettes, and the silhouette images were ranked by 30 orthodontists and 30 laypersons. @*Results@# There were significant differences in profile scores at different movement distances of the lower third of the face among high-angle patients with different forehead shapes (P<0.05). Overall, high-angle patients with straight or type II angular foreheads had higher scores when the lower third of the face did not move. For high-angle patients with a rounded forehead, orthodontists and laypersons gave the highest scores when the lower third of the face was moved backward by 2 mm and 4 mm, respectively. For high-angle patients with a type I angular forehead, orthodontists thought the scores of backward movement of 4 mm were the highest, and laypersons thought the scores of backward movement of 3 mm were the highest. No significant difference was found in scores between orthodontists and laypersons (P>0.05). @*Conclusion @#The forehead forms and the sagittal position of the lower third of the face will affect the face’s profile aesthetics. Patients with straight and type Ⅱ angular foreheads has the best profile when the FA point is located on the GALL line. For patients with rounded and type Ⅰ angular foreheads, a posterior location of the lower third of the face is more desirable than the initial position.
RESUMO
Este estudio busca describir elementos de masculinidad y feminidad relacionados en el ingreso y el accionar en una actividad delictiva de alto impacto: el tráfico de drogas. Respetando una metodología cualitativa, se utilizó una entrevista semiestructurada a un grupo de personas que se dedicaron al tráfico de drogas en el estado de Sonora, México, dos mujeres y siete hombres, para explorar elementos de feminidad y masculinidad relacionados con el ingreso al tráfico de drogas en cuatro dimensiones: poder, economía, estética y cuerpo. Se muestra que los analizados buscan en el tráfico cumplir con modelos impuestos socialmente en función de su género; existen también diferenciaciones que sugieren una revalorización en sus maneras de ejercer el poder, sus metas económicas y el uso del cuerpo para obtener cuotas de poder.
This study seeks to describe elements of masculinity and femininity related to entering and acting in a high-impact criminal activity: drug trafficking. Following a qualitative methodology, a semi-structured interview was used with a group of people involved in drug trafficking in the state of Sonora, Mexico, two women and seven men, to explore elements of femininity and masculinity related to entering drug tra-fficking in four dimensions: power, economy, aesthetics and body. It is shown that those analyzed seek in trafficking to comply with socially imposed models based on their gender; there are also differentiations that suggest a revaluation in their ways of exercising power, their economic goals and the use of the body to obtain power quotas.

ABSTRACT The gingival contour, the color of the teeth and the presence of interincisal diastema are seen as unsightly factors, being highly harmful from a social point of view. The present study aimed to report a comprehensive and conservative esthetic treatment executed with a multidisciplinary approach in a 20-year-old female patient that presented darkened teeth with poor spacing and excessive gingival display while smiling, as well as present a brief literature review on multidisciplinary approach in esthetic dentistry. After clinical examination and diagnosis, a treatment plan was elaborated to meet the patient's expectations with a conservative approach. After patient consent, therapy began with supervised home-based tooth whitening with 22% carbamide peroxide applied one hour/daily for 14 days, followed with gingival recontouring surgery and, after a healing period of 30 days, diastemas closure with direct composite resin technique, occlusal adjustment, finishing, and polishing. The multidisciplinary approach was fundamental for the accomplishment of the proposed treatment, achieving satisfactory esthetic and functional results.
RESUMO O contorno gengival, a cor dos dentes e a presença de diastemas interincisivos são vistos como fatores antiestéticos, sendo altamente prejudicial do ponto de vista social. O presente estudo teve como objetivo relatar um tratamento estético conservador executado com abordagem multidisciplinar em uma paciente do sexo feminino de 20 anos que apresentava dentes escurecidos com pouco espaçamento e exposição gengival excessiva ao sorrir, bem como apresentar uma breve revisão de literatura sobre à abordagem multidisciplinar em odontologia estética. Após exame clínico e diagnóstico, foi elaborado um plano de tratamento para atender as expectativas do paciente com abordagem conservadora. Após consentimento do paciente, foi iniciada o clareamento dental supervisionado com peróxido de carbamida 22% aplicado uma hora/dia por 14 dias, seguido de cirurgia de recontorno gengival e, após um período de cicatrização de 30 dias, fechamento de diastemas com técnica de resina composta direta. Neste caso, a abordagem multidisciplinar foi fundamental para a realização do tratamento proposto, alcançando resultados estéticos e funcionais satisfatórios.
