Abstract(s)
Introdução: Apesar do aumento das medidas preventivas empregues por alguns
países, que resultam na diminuição da prevalência da cárie dentária, esta continua a
existir em número considerável nesses mesmo países. Tem ocorrido um aumento de
casos de lesão cervical, pelo que se torna imperativo para o Médico Dentista, dominar
o diagnóstico e as técnicas e materiais envolvidos no tratamento, sendo que a
prevenção é sempre a prioridade. Neste trabalho dedicaremos especial atenção às
lesões cervicais não cariosas.
Objectivos: Ilustrar com base em dois casos clínicos, a necessidade de dominar
conhecimentos de diagnóstico e de tratamento mais apropriados à abordagem clinica
das lesões cervicais não-cariosas.
Material e Métodos: Apresentação e discussão de dois casos clínicos de lesão
cervical não-cariosa, realizados na Clínica Universitária da Universidade Católica
Portuguesa – Centro Regional das Beiras Viseu com a aplicação dos conhecimentos
reunidos para um correto diagnóstico, em que o uso de resinas compostas
nanoparticuladas foi a opção de escolha para o tratamento restaurador.
Resultados: Os pacientes ficaram, de forma geral, satisfeitos com o resultado
estético, no entanto os profissionais envolvidos no tratamento esperavam obter
melhores resultados.
Conclusão: Confirmou-se a necessidade de dominar os conhecimentos de diagnóstico
e tratamento de lesão cervical não-cariosa. Conclui-se que o tratamento restaurador
com recurso a resinas compostas nanoparticuladas exige do operador conhecimentos e
aptidões especificas e que a fase de polimento apresenta-se como a fase que acarreta
maior dificuldade.
Introduction: Despite the increase in preventive measures employed by some countries, which result in reducing the prevalence of dental caries, it continues to exist in considerable numbers in these same countries. There has been an increase in cases of cervical lesions, which makes it imperative for the dentist, master the diagnosis as the techniques and materials involved in treatment; the prevention is always the priority. In this work we will devote special attention to non-carious cervical lesions. Objectives: Illustrate, based on two clinical cases, the need to master the most appropriate knowledge in diagnosis and treatment to the clinical approach of noncarious cervical lesions. Material and Methods: Presentation and discussion of two cases of non-carious cervical lesion, performed at the University Clinic of Universidade Católica Portuguesa - Centro Regional das Beiras – Pólo de Viseu, with the application of gathered knowledge for a correct diagnosis, in which the use of nanoparticulate composites was the option of choice for restorative treatment. Results: The patients were, in general, satisfied with the aesthetic result, however the professionals involved in the treatment expected better results. Conclusion: Was confirmed, the need to master the skills and knowledge in diagnosis and treatment of non-carious cervical lesion. We conclude that the restorative treatment using the nanoparticulate composites requires the operator knowledge and specific skills; the polishing phase appears as the phase that entails greater difficulty.
