A good integrated planning, with the correct indication, enables a more conservative approach to the tooth structure, presenting itself as an excellent solution for aesthetic and functional modifications in the smile. Thus, it is unquestionable the importance of knowledge by the professional, about the material and the technique, to obtain a satisfactory result. It is concluded that the aesthetic rehabilitation of the smile occurs from multidisciplinary approaches within some specialties, which subsequently to an integrated planning may allow to restore the smile.
