Functionally discluded occlusion considered provisional restoration

Abstract

Functionally discluded occlusion (FDO) is based on group functioned occlusion theory. FDO is focusing on the physiologically harmonized occlusion. Diagnostic wax up and planning wax up to give a patientʼs own four inches spherical surface was done to treat with this FDO based restoration. Then, provisional restoration was made. The patient with FDO prosthesis was able to gain physiologically harmonized occlusion without occlusal adjustment. He feel very comfortable with it. So I assume that provisional restorations considered FDO has huge advantage. This report is the clinical case of this method.
