A case report of esthetic and occlusal recovery using fixed prostheses in a partially edentulous arch with tooth wear

Abstract

Patient: The patient was a 55-year-old woman who complained of poor esthetics and difficulty in mastication due to debonding of the anterior fixed partial denture. A full-mouth reconstruction was performed using all-ceramic crowns and fixed dental prostheses because of the loss of the maxillary anterior lingual dentition due to endogenous erosion and reduction in the vertical occlusal height.

Discussion: Due to the insufficient denture space in the missing maxillary anterior tooth, a provisional restoration was fabricated based on the diagnostic wax-up to determine the final prosthetic design.

Conclusion: Full-mouth prosthodontic treatment with all-ceramic crowns and fixed dental prostheses was performed for the missing dentition with endogenous acid erosion and bruxism to restore esthetic and occlusal function, with a good prognosis and high patient satisfaction.
