In the case of patients with pathological tooth wear, it is necessary to evaluate the loss of the vertical dimension. Setting theappropriate vertical dimension is important to rehabilitate the patient’s stable intermaxillary relationship. A 77-year-old femalepatient’s chief complaint was the pain of the mandibular incisors and the lack of molars. At the first visit, pathologic tooth wear ofthe mandibular incisors were observed. After diagnosis and evaluation, loss of vertical dimension was not observed, but insufficientintermaxillary space for prosthetic restoration was confirmed. Mandibular rehabilitation was performed with vertical dimensionincrease and this showed satisfactory results both functionally and aesthetically.
