Abstract
Patient: The patient, a 68-year-old male, arrived at our clinic with the chief complaint being an esthetic impairment as a result of tooth attrition. To rectify the esthetic impairment and the decreased occlusal diameter that occurred because of extensive defects in tooth quality, which were brought about by significant tooth attrition, we reconstructed the occlusion with prosthetic treatment.
Discussion: We used a provisional splint restoration to set the jaw position and achieved a favorable outcome because the prosthetic device was constructed after a long-term follow-up observation.
Conclusion: In cases of esthetic impairment occurring because of substantial defects in tooth quality, a result of tooth attrition, it is essential to repair tooth crown morphology and occlusal diameter, and also to construct prosthetic devices, after identifying an appropriate occlusal diameter and performing reversible safety checks before starting treatment.
