Abstract
Patient: The patient was a 69 year-old male who visited the dental hospital with the chief complaint of fallen facing crown with root fracture of anterior teeth. Full mouth restoration was done to correct the defect of occlusal support with sunk dentures and slight infraocclusion with occlusal wear. During 14 years of follow-up, only one tooth was extracted due to root fracture, thus the prognosis was considered stable.
Discussion: Occlusal reconstruction for decrease of occlusal support with active prosthesis is considered to prevent occlusal collapse in the long term.
Conclusion: Continuous regular follow-up and observation of occlusal condition is important to obtain a good prognosis for defective dentition.
