Abstract:
This clinical report focuses on the treatment of a patient with esthetic and functional impairments due to severe worn dentition. Absence of posterior support for a prolonged period require comprehensive prosthetic restoration. Accurate clinical and radiographic examinations, diagnostic wax-up, and occlusal vertical dimension evaluation were performed and the degree of patient adaptability was evaluated using an interim restoration. After 8 weeks of stabilization with interim restoration and confirmation of absence of any abnormal findings, definitive prostheses were fabricated. Satisfactory functional and esthetic outcomes were observed after 6 months of follow-up.
