A case report of occlusal reconstruction for remarkable coronal decay

Abstract

Patient: A 65-year-old woman presented with the main complaint of difficulty while chewing. She had repeatedly sanded her teeth with sandpaper to remove a sense of discomfort from the occlusion. All of her teeth crowns were scraped significantly. The final restoration managed to reproduce the provisional restoration. The occlusal plane and jaw position were obtained by various examinations and repeated fine adjustments.

Discussion: The correct mandibular position was obtained by the proper provisional restoration, which was examined and adjusted carefully, bringing about the successful result.

Conclusion: Determination of the appropriate mandibular position has a significant impact on the prognosis of patients. In this case, the mandibular position was determined using several methods and yielded a long-lasting positive outcome.
