Abstract:
Loss of posterior support may cause extrusion of antagonistic teeth and excessive wear of remaining teeth which often leads to the destruction of the occlusal plane. In such cases, it is critical to verify the need to increase vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO). Should you increase VDO, provisionalization is crucial in evaluating function and esthetics. Double scanning technique is a useful method when fabricating definitive restoration that mimic provisional restoration. In this case, a patient with apparently no loss of VDO and insufficient interocclusal space for dental materials due to loss of posterior support and extrusion of antagonistic teeth was rehabilitated using double scanning technique.
