Lithium disilicate occlusal surfaces on acrylic resin denture teeth in a mandibular implant-retained overdenture opposed by a maxillary removable complete denture: A clinical report

Abstract

Decreased masticatory efficiency, loss of vertical dimension of occlusion, and loss of maxillomandibular relationships are common in relation to the wear experienced by the artificial teeth in removable complete dentures and implant-retained overdentures. To prevent early surface loss, the occlusal surfaces of acrylic resin denture teeth were replaced with adhesively luted lithium disilicate onlays in this patient’s prostheses.
