Abstract
|
|
|
|
Tooth wear is loss of surface of teeth, and may be classified into physiological and pathologic wear. When tooth wear is accelerated excessively, it is pathologic tooth wear. Pathologic tooth wear may result in many problems including decrease of occlusal vertical dimension, as well as unacceptable damage to anterior guidance. In this study, the patient had loss of posterior teeth and anterior severely worn dentition. Vertical dimension analysis was conducted and 3 mm increase of vertical dimension was determined. After 8 weeks of stabilization period with temporary prostheses, definitive restoration with fixed dental prosthesis and partial removable denture prosthesis were accomplished and satisfactory outcomes were achieved in functional and esthetic aspects.
