Abstract:
Loss of posterior bite support might cause unstable occlusal relationship and when the mandible slides forward in the centric or habitual occlusion, excessive load is applied to the anterior region followed by causing the occlusal plane to collapse or leading to a decrease in occlusal vertical dimension. In addition, disorder of temporomandibular joint function may occur. The inter-dental arch discrepancy causes a mismatch in the vertical and horizontal overlap of the anterior and posterior regions. The deep bite in the anterior region and the scissor bite in the posterior region cause unstable occlusal contact and insufficient occlusal contact area. This report was to rehabilitate a patient with above-mentioned complex problems. Physiologic adaptation to increased vertical dimension and new occlusal plane were evaluated using provisional prostheses, and definitive prostheses was fabricated using cross-mounting technique. Stable occlusion, harmonious teeth overlap and adequate occlusal plane were established, so functionally and aesthetically satisfactory results are obtained.
