Abstract
Patient: A 58-year-old female patient is reported. She visited the clinic complaining of esthetic disturbance by discolored oral restorations and secondary caries. First, she received periodontal treatment, tooth extraction, composite resin filling and minor tooth movement. Then, provisional restorations and esthetic prostheses of natural tooth color were placed, and the patient was observed.
Discussion: The occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth were covered with hybrid composite resin. Because there was a possibility of causing a decrease in the occlusal vertical dimension in the long term, the upper second molar teeth were restored by metal crowns with abrasion resistance.
Conclusion: Discolored oral restorations and secondary caries were replaced by esthetic prostheses of natural tooth color and the unstable intercuspal position was improved by the prostheses.
