Patient: A 54-year-old woman visited our hospital with the chief complaints of difficulty in chewing and poor esthetic appearance. We observed loss of anterior occlusal contact due to tooth erosion and natural tooth discoloration. After oral examination, the woman was diagnosed with masticatory disorder due to tooth erosion and esthetic disorder due to tetracycline teeth. After establishing anterior guidance through provisional restoration, we undertook prosthodontic treatment using all-ceramic crowns and porcelain laminate veneers.
Discussion: Good outcomes were achieved by anterior guidance with a capsid protected occlusal scheme established in the final prosthetic appliance which was determined by using a provisional restoration.
Conclusion: Functional and esthetic restoration was successfully achieved in a patient exhibiting mastication and esthetic disorders.
