ABSTRACT
The present article describes a minimally invasive technique used for the restoration of loss of tooth structure caused by erosion of intrinsic etiology. First, the cause of erosion was treated and controlled. Subsequently, taking into consideration patient characteristics, especially a young age, a more conservative technique was chosen for dental rehabilitation with the use of composite resin. The advantages and disadvantages of the technique employed are discussed.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disorder of the gastrointestinal tract in children and adults. The purpose of this report is to describe the case of a patient with GERD and the effects of the disease on the oral cavity, as well as to discuss functional and esthetic rehabilitation using composite resin. The authors also conducted a review of the literature on GERD etiopathogenesis, clinical signs and symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatment.

As facetas laminadas de porcelana são consideradas recursos estéticos de restauração eletivos e com características conservadoras. As facetas apresentam grande durabilidade e podem proporcionam um tratamento rápido e eficaz. Neste artigo, descreve-se e discute-se a técnica de confecção dos laminados de porcelana. A paciente RRB, 42 anos, apresentava-se insatisfeita com seus incisivos centrais superiores, que estavam escurecidos e extensamente restaurados, o que provocava alterações na forma. Após preparo conservador para confecção de facetas, realizou-se a moldagem dos pilares, seguida da confecção de dentes provisórios diretos em resina composta. Na consulta seguinte, foi realizada a cimentação das peças protéticas e os ajustes oclusais.
