Abstract
Objective: Conduct a literature review to analyze the indications of facets in ceramics in a minimally invasive manner by dental surgeons (CD). Methods: As a search strategy, research was established in the databases PubMed/MedLine, LiLacs and SciELo, in the period 2015-2020, combining the descriptors “facets”, “ceramic facets” and “cosmetic dentistry” to the Boolean descriptors in the respective sources, search. Results: In the last decades, the use of ceramic by the CD has been increasingly used, when comparing the preparations made in laminated veneers and the use of full crowns it is observed that the use of veneers becomes less invasive dental wear, one of the reasons for this fact are due to the level of darkening of the tooth, so the designation of the whitening of the previous dental elements is necessary for a final result of the most positive and minimally invasive treatment. Final Considerations: The use of indirect facets has been shown to be quite efficient and is currently considered to be the procedure of choice in cases of very darkened and extensively restored dental elements, however, professionals must classify and qualify, in different ways, the particularities of each case, in order to guarantee a better final result of the treatment.
