Facetas de resina em pacientes com bruxismo: revisão de literatura

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Bruxism is a parafunctional activity related to teeth clenching or grinding and tooth wear can be a consequence of sleep bruxism (BS). Management of severe tooth wear due to bruxism is a challenging situation due to the common reduced amount of remaining tooth structure and loss of vertical dimension of occlusion. The rationale for planning the oral rehabilitation of patients with bruxism who have severe tooth wear must be based on evidence-based approaches. OBJECTIVE: to understand, through a literature review, the efficacy and benefits of resin veneers in patients with bruxism. METHODOLOGY: This is a literature review, exploratory study carried out through a literature review. The following virtual health databases were used: Virtual Health Library (BVS), National Library of Medicine (PubMed) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), from 2013 to 2023. RESULTS: The study results showed that Resin veneers are a predictable treatment option that offers excellent results, recognizing a higher risk of failure in patients with bruxism activity, but can also be effective and durable. Therefore, it may suffer some type of wear, indicating the use of occlusal splints and also patients with severe bruxism problems, may undergo maintenance for surface repolishing. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Given the above, we conclude that direct, indirect or composite resin veneers, associated with the use of an occlusal splint, proved to be an effective option for the rehabilitation of patients with bruxism.
