¿Qué Son las Carillas de Porcelana?

En este video, la Dra. Myrna Aguilar por qué las carillas de porcelana pueden lograr cambios estéticos y funcionales con menor desgaste dental, y el criterio clínico que decide quién es candidato y quién no lo es.

Las carillas de porcelana, también conocidas como veneers, son una alternativa a la corona dental. Este tratamiento es menos invasivo porque requiere desgastar menos la estructura natural del diente.

Se utilizan con frecuencia para mejorar la estética dental. También pueden corregir dientes que están ligeramente rotados, con mala posición o con apiñamiento leve. En pacientes candidatos, las carillas permiten ajustar la forma y la alineación visible del diente, logrando un efecto similar al de un tratamiento de ortodoncia, pero sin remover tanta estructura dental.

Además, las carillas se emplean para restablecer las guías de oclusión en pacientes que presentan desgaste en las cúspides o interferencias al morder. En estos casos, ayudan a corregir el desgaste o las interferencias sin necesidad de preparar o desgastar el diente completo.

El dentista determina si el paciente es candidato a carillas según la condición clínica, funcional y estética de los dientes.
