CLINICAL CASE
Tooth rejuvenation clinical case
Tooth aging is a natural process caused by exposure to food, tobacco, beverages such as coffee or wine, tooth brushing or chewing. This progressive deterioration of the tooth causes dark or yellowish teeth, tooth wear, stains, cracks on the tooth surface, tooth movement and gum loss. Tooth rejuvenation requires a thorough diagnosis of the signs of aging in each case and a treatment plan tailored to solve the aesthetic problems of concern to the patient. The most common solutions for dental aging involve a good diagnosis of the causes of aging.
If the aging is due to a habit of dental clenching or bruxism, we should reduce it through the use of special devices. Subsequently, we will apply whitening techniques and veneers to recover the wear of the teeth.
After controlling the cause of the darkening, we will proceed to whiten the darkened teeth by means of resin or ceramic dental veneers or internal or external laser whitening techniques. Finally, if the aging is due to a problem of dental malposition, then invisible orthodontic treatment will be the most indicated.
