A Multidisciplinary Approach for Restoring Function and Esthetics in a Patient with Worn out Dentition: a Clinical Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
Cases of severe attrition and abrasion are common finding in daily clinical practice. This leads to loss of vertical dimension, chewing inefficiency and poor esthetics. These cases require complete oral rehabilitation which can be successfully achieved by a systematic approach integrating various concepts of prosthodontics. Full mouth rehabilitation cases are one of the most difficult cases to manage. They involve not only the replacement of the lost tooth structure but also restoring the lost vertical dimension. Patients generally present with isolated problems in individual tooth, or in isolated teeth in different locations in the oral cavity. Very rarely, patients will present with total wear and tear of all the teeth. This article describes the management of a case with severely attrited, abraded and worn out dentition.
