The intraoral examination showed a darkening of teeth 11 and 21, which radiographically showed thickening of the periodontal ligament with disharmonious configuration of the marginal gingiva. From the clinical and radiographic characteristics, periodontal intervention was selected for recovery and gingival leveling, followed by endodontic intervention and esthetic restorative restoration. The restorative step was carried out sequentially, comprising internal tooth bleaching, removal of the dentin that was still pigmented after bleaching, and enamel preservation. Soon after, the teeth were restored in an alternative way and layered using a reverse technique, placing strips of polyethylene fiber over the dentin resin.
