In the present case report, 60 years-old male patient had generalized tooth wear, anterior cross-bite, aesthetic problems and impaired masticatory function. After the detailed examination, 2 mm increase of occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) in posterior teeth has been decided. Before treatment, cephalometric radiographs were taken and maximum bite force was measured as 20 kg/kuvvet. Then, for adaptation of patient to the increased OVD, patient used the fixed provisional restoration for 1 month. A second cephalometric radiograph was taken with the provisional restoration at increased OVD. After 1 month, patient did not report any muscle pain or joint discomfort and thus permanent full mouth restoration was completed. One week later of permanent cementation of restorations, patient reported satisfactory masticatory function and at this appointment the bite force was measured as 32 kg/kuvvet
