The treatment of cavity carious lesions in anterior deciduous teeth is a frequent demand in the pediatric dentistry clinic, since the control of the disease in early childhood still presents itself as an inter-factor challenge in child health care. While the scientific evidence on the minimally invasive principles of approach in Dentistry is presented at an increasing level, the alternatives for restorative treatment in anterior deciduous teeth still face the low availability of reports that associate minimal intervention with the aesthetic needs inherent to the treatment. Thus, this article presents a series of cases in which direct restorations in composite resin, without removing carious tissue using polyvinyl matrices, were treatment alternatives for moderate and severe caries lesions in anterior deciduous teeth. It was observed, therefore, that the use of this artifact helped the rehabilitation of compromised dental elements with speed and satisfactory 50 result, suggesting that this is an appropriate approach for application in Pediatric Dentistry, 51 since it offers resistance, durability, besides providing aesthetics and functionality, it presents lower cost and agility as it eliminates the laboratory phase.
In Dentistry, any user with one or more limitations, of temporary or permanent mental nature, of physical, sensory, emotional or medical growth, is considered to be a Patient with Special Needs, preventing him from being subjected to a conventional dental situation. These patients form a group which may be considered at high risk for the development of oral diseases, according to the kind of pathogen. Among them, is the Williams-Beuren Syndrome, a rare congenital disease with cardiovascular involvement, mental retardation, dysmorphic face, idiopathic hypercalcemia, musculoskeletal problems, dental and growth anomalies. Familial and sporadic cases are thought to result from deletion of genetic material from adjacent genes located on the long arm of chromosome 7. This article reports a clinical case involving a four-year-old boy with Williams-Beuren Syndrome, referred to the clinic of the Specialization Course for Patients with Special Needs, at the São Leopoldo Mandic Dental Research Center, Campinas (SP). As the patient was resistant to dental care, in order to reduce anxiety and increase collaboration in clinical sessions, the Hixizine® medication was administered. For atraumatic restorative treatment and restorations, the following materials were used: Cleanjoy®, Futurabond DC®, Ionofil Plus® Grandioso®, Grandio® and Profluorid®. As result, it was possible to reach a level of excellence using the indicated materials and specific protocols. Based on this work and the lived experience, it can be observed that these patients can receive welcoming dental care in specialized clinics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
