case_images: After anamnesis, the oral exam revealed an inadequate composite resin veneer placed on the right central incisor and recurrent gingivitis of the maxillary anterior teeth (Figures 1(a) and 1(b)).
case_images: Remaining dental structure was evaluated and it was decided to restore it with a composite resin crown.

case_images: The tooth was prepared and a provisional acrylic-resin crown (Jet, color 62, Classico, Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil) was placed (Figure 3).
case_images: After tooth preparation, laser phototherapy with a low power laser (660 nm) was performed in all clinical sessions (total of four sessions), on the surrounding periodontal tissue (punctually with a semiconductor laser, wavelength of 650 nm, spot size of 0,028 cm2, energy density of 35.7 J/cm2, mean power of 100 mW, and energy per point as 1 J, contact mode, in a total of 2 points totalizing 2 J of energy).

case_images: Paul, USA) was applied with a disposable brush (KG Brush, KG Sorensen, Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil) (Figure 6) and gently air-dried.
case_images: A thin layer of composite resin was applied in the inner surface of the resin restoration, for luting.

case_images: A thin layer of composite resin (Venus, Heraeus Kulzer, Hanau, Germany) was applied to the inner surface of the resin restoration, for luting (Figure 7).
case_images: A thin layer of bond was applied with a disposable brush on the entire tooth surface starting with the enamel and applied with slight pressure for 15 seconds, according to the manufacturer's instructions.

case_images: The composite resin was polymerized by light activation (Optilight Max, Gnatus, Ribeirao Preto, SP, Brazil) for 20 seconds on the lingual and buccal surfaces (Figure 9).
case_images: Finally, the occlusion was checked, with articulating paper, and restoration was concluded.
