Abstract:
The rapid advancement of digital dentistry has enabled the integration of digital technologies into full-mouth rehabilitation, improving communication between clinicians and dental technicians while greatly enhancing treatment efficiency.This case report details the treatment of a patient with severe tooth erosion and wear, where full-mouth rehabilitation with an increase in vertical dimension was planned. Four digital tools‒an intraoral scanner, facial scanner, T-scan, and Jaw Motion Analyzer‒were used to collect and integrate data, which were then utilized to create a virtual patient through CAD software for the design and fabrication of the prosthesis. The effective use of these digital technologies supported the achievement of a stable occlusion and resulted in both functional and esthetic outcomes. This case demonstrates the effectiveness of a digital workflow in enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of the treatment process, producing clinically satisfactory results.
