Abstract

Abstract: This paper describes the treatment of a 39-year-old female patient with generalized tooth wear. The causes of the tooth wear were identified and controlled. Following diagnostic planning, a full mouth reconstruction at an increased vertical dimension utilizing a reorganized approach was carried out. Crown lengthening surgery was performed on the maxillary anterior teeth prior to the restorative phase. The restorative treatment included a combination of indirect and direct composite resin restorations and adhesive cast restorations. Very satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes were achieved. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This paper demonstrates a practicable approach that can be applied for patients with tooth wear. The approach is conservative which eliminates the need for full coverage crowns to restore aesthetics and function.
