A case report of oral rehabilitation for esthetic and masticatory disorder by grave attrition

Abstract

Patient: The patient was a 39-year-old male with the chief complaints of esthetic problems and masticatory disorder arising from teeth attrition. Oral rehabilitation applying crown restorations based on bite rising was performed.

Discussion: The treatment was planned using a study model and diagnostic wax-up, and was prepared for provisional restorations. Vertical stop in the molars and improvement of esthetics of the anterior teeth were achieved by crown restorations after the vertical dimension was increased by 2 mm for the lower arch.

Conclusion: This case indicates that providing a suitable occlusal vertical dimension and occlusal scheme for functional movement leads to longevity and predictability.
