ABSTRACT
Dental ceramics present excellent ability to reproduce the natural teeth regarding esthetic and biomechanics. Recently, due to the advancement of ceramic technology, metal-free restorations were developed. However, the traditional metal-ceramic restorations still present the requirements of high strength, long survival in the oral environment and favorable aesthetics. In this context, it is essential to know the specificity of each ceramic system available in order to apply it properly to various clinical situations. This report describes an integrated rehabilitation using metal-ceramic restorations of a patient at 50 years of age, who presented edentulous spaces, and previous unsatisfactory composite and amalgam restorations, and indirect metallic restorations, leading to compromised quality of life in both functional and psychosocial aspects. The impact on quality of life was measured using a generic instrument, OHIP-14, validated for the World Health Organization, which covers both the biological and the psychosocial dimensions. This instrument was applied to the patient before and after treatment. The patient had an overall OHIP-14 score of 28 before the treatment and after treatment the score decreased to 0, showing that dental and oral health conditions are factors that do impact on the quality of life. Rehabilitation has provided functional and aesthetic restorations, harmony of the stomatognathic system and improvement of life quality.
RESUMO
As cerâmicas dentais são conhecidas pela excelência em reproduzir artificialmente dentes naturais. Recentemente, devido ao aprimoramento da tecnologia cerâmica, surgiram as restaurações livres de metal. Entretanto, as tradicionais metalocerâmicas ainda preenchem adequadamente os requisitos de alta resistência, longa sobrevida em meio bucal e estética favorável. Neste contexto, é fundamental conhecer a especificidade de cada sistema cerâmico a fim de indicá-lo adequadamente às diversas situações clínicas. Este artigo relata um caso de reabilitação integral e integrada de paciente de 50 anos de idade, portador de espaços edêntulos, restaurações protéticas posteriores e restaurações diretas anteriores insatisfatórias, resultando em comprometimento da qualidade de vida nos âmbitos funcional e psicossocial, utilizando coroas metalocerâmicas. O impacto na qualidade de vida foi mensurado utilizando um instrumento genérico, OHIP-14, validado pela Organização Mundial de Saúde, que abrange tanto a dimensão biológica, como a dimensão psicossocial. Este instrumento foi aplicado à paciente antes e após o tratamento, obtendo pontuação total de 28 e 0 respectivamente, o que mostra que a condição de saúde oral representa fator de grande impacto sobre a qualidade de vida. A reabilitação oral proporcionou restabelecimento funcional e estético, harmonia do sistema estomatognático e melhoria da qualidade de vida da paciente.
