A case of esthetic restoration through occlusal elevation for attrition

Abstract

Patient: A 67-year-old female presented with esthetic concerns due to occlusal attrition. Following examination, she was diagnosed with esthetic dissatisfaction resulting from attrition and underwent prosthetic restoration.

Discussion: After increasing the vertical dimension and adjusting the provisional restoration, esthetic issues were addressed using both fixed and removable dental prostheses. Porcelain layering zirconia and monolithic zirconia crowns were chosen as fixed prostheses, and a metal-based denture was used as a removable prosthesis, resulting in improved esthetics.

Conclusion: The patient was satisfied with the improved esthetic restoration and the selection of an appropriate final prosthesis.
