Abstract
In daily practice, it is often difficult to diagnose cases in which bite raising is indicated. Changes that have been created over the years can not be easily modified. In this study, we observed a case in which rather unreasonable bite raising had been performed ten years previously. This case was treated with bite raising as part of prosthetic treatment, resulting in a loss of anterior guidance. The patient showed significant modification of occlusion to compensate for the loss of anterior guidance, leading to the recovery of the original occlusion. Mechanisms of this modification process were studied by following the recovery course.We concluded that the patient successfully adapted to the changes in occlusion by greatly modifying his body. We not only were impressed by the adaptability of the living body, but also considered whether prostheses can be created that can harmonize human bodies.
