Functional and Aesthetic Full Mouth Rehabilitation of a Severely Worn Dentition to Restore Vertical Dimension: A Case Report

  • Clinical Report
  • Published:
The Journal of Indian Prosthodontic Society

Abstract

Deterioration or malfunction of any part should be viewed as an effect that has the direct or indirect result of one or more identifiable cause. The establishment of definitive goals is the foundation for the full mouth rehabilitation. Severe wear is common in prosthodontic patients whose teeth have been held in functional interference for long period of time. This case report presents a description of a patient’s oral rehabilitation with metal ceramic restorations to increase vertical dimension while achieving canine guided occlusion.
