Abstract:
Skeletal Class II malocclusion often leads to excessive overjet due to differences in arch growth, and in some cases, an unstable contact point of the mandibular incisors can result in deep bite. When the relationship of anterior teeth is unstable, the extruded height of the mandibular incisors must be adjusted, followed by restoration of the maxillary incisors. During this process, an interim restoration period is necessary to evaluate aesthetics, phonetics, and function of the anterior teeth, and if extractions and implants are involved, the restoration steps may increase. In this case, facial scan was utilized to obtain extraoral data for stepwise fabrication of provisional restorations, ultimately transitioning them into final restorations. This approach aimed to improve both function and aesthetics for the patient, who required multiple implants and fixed prostheses on natural teeth, including in the anterior region.
