Abstract
|
|
|
Inadequate or unstable posterior support cause extrusion of antagonistic teeth and overloading of remaining teeth.
Extrusion of antagonistic teeth result in collapsed occlusal plane and decreased prosthetic space. Also, overloading
of remaining teeth increase occlusal wear or anterior extrusion of anterior teeth, which is resulting in loss of
anterior guidance, disharmony of occlusion and decreased prosthetic space. In this case, careful evaluation of OVD(occlusal vertical dimension) is the general first trial to regain appropriate function and esthetics. Simultaneously, adequate anterior guidance and harmonious occlusal plane should be established in the repeatable reference position of the mandible. We report this case because severely worn dentition achieved functional and esthetic results from full mouth
rehabilitation with increased vertical dimension and use of centric relation.
