Abstract:
Multiple tooth wear with limited interocclusal space is a challenge for dentist to manage. Clinical case report revealed examination and treatment planning in the patient with multiple tooth wear. The teeth needed to be restored, but there was insufficient space for the restorations. The treatment plan was to increase vertical dimension even though the patient had no loss of vertical dimension. Mandibular molars were restored with all ceramic CAD-CAM restorations. Mandibular premolars and anterior teeth, were restored using direct resin composite restorations. After 6-month follow-up, the restorations exhibited acceptable function and esthetics. Hence, dentition rehabilitation with increased vertical dimension using all ceramic CAD-CAM restorations and direct resin composite restorations, which provide acceptable esthetics and strength, would be a treatment option for multiple tooth wear.
