Abstract

The development of research in the restorative dentistry field is constant, presenting alternatives of treatment with high aesthetic and functional potential. In recent years, the concept of "biomimetics" stood out in dentistry, exalting the maximum preservation of dental tissues and making restorations that present physical and mechanical properties similar to natural teeth structure. This concept can be applied in different ways, since performing non-retentive dental preparations to promote a better forces distribution; the making of bilaminar restorations that resemble the natural tooth structure; even the elevation of the gingival margins using restorative materials, in order to avoid more invasive surgical procedures. Therefore, this research project aims to evaluate the effect of these three different restorative techniques that include the concepts of biomimetics, in fatigue survival, stress distribution and marginal leakage of restored teeth, using the digital workflow.
