Abstract
Patient: A 57-year-old male complained of masticatory disturbance due to mobility of an upper right fixed partial denture. Decreased occlusal vertical dimension and incorrect occlusal plane due to factors such as untreated teeth loss, supra eruption, and attrition were found at the initial intraoral examination. To solve those problems, occlusal reconstruction was performed with prosthetic treatment.
Discussion: A suitable mandibular position was investigated using diagnostic wax-up. After confirming the patient’s adaptation to the new mandibular position using provisional restorations, the final prosthesis was delivered, resulting in a favorable prognosis.
Conclusions: When occlusal reconstruction is required, the treatment plan should be established based on a thorough examination, and the final prosthesis should be delivered after performing reversible treatment to confirm the absence of functional and aesthetic issues.
