Abstract:
Severe tooth wear may lead to pathological changes of pulp, imbalance in occlusion as well as functional and esthetic problems. In this case, 34-year-old male came to the hospital because of generally worn dentition due to attrition and erosion. After evaluation, a full mouth restoration with elevation of the vertical dimension of occlusion was planned. After occlusion was stabilized by an occlusal stabilization appliance, centric relation position was recorded and subsequent provisional restorations were fabricated. After evaluation, a CAD-CAM (computer aided design-computer aided manufacturing) prosthetic restoration was carried out using monolithic zirconia. After 12 months of follow up observation, the patient was satisfied with function and esthetic appearance.
