Abstract

The lack of one or more teeth is a highly relevant factor in the case of chewing, phonation, esthetics and mainly on the high impact in life quality due to physical, psychological and social discomfort. The dentist in the government health service should understand the expectations of the community to receive an efficient rehabilitation treatment within available conditions. Current research narrates a clinical case of a 13-year old male patient lacking teeth 11 and 12, caused by dental traumatism. Rehabilitation by direct adhesive prosthesis and bridges manufactured from resin associated with strengthened fiber was achieved. Dental plastic surgery of tooth 21 was undertaken. Treatment reestablished the patient´s aesthetics and his social inclusion, coupled to self-esteem and life quality. Adhesive prosthesis with strengthened fiber is a low cost rehabilitation and conservative alternative that provides satisfactory functional and aesthetic results in the wake of limitation of the government health service.
