Abstract
Patient: A 66-year-old male visited our hospital with a chief complaint of occlusal discomfort. He had subjective and objective symptoms caused by severe attrition of teeth. We reconstructed the occlusion with prosthetic treatment, performed occlusal reconstruction and evaluation, and then performed crown restoration of the mandibular teeth. He wore an occlusal splint so that there was clenching and received periodical medical examination every six months. Four years have passed since the treatment without incident.
Discussion: Occlusal discomfort seems to have disappeared, suggesting that we established cuspid protected occlusion and proper occlusal vertical dimension and removed occlusal interference of the second molar for lateral movement.
Conclusion: In this case with a complaint of occlusal discomfort due to severe attrition of the full mouth, the occlusal discomfort and other symptoms disappeared by oral rehabilitation. As a result, the patient obtained satisfaction and health.
