Abstract

Tooth wear is prevalent in the society and often-time affects an individual’s daily life. This case demonstrates the management of non-carious tooth surface loss with loss of occlusal vertical dimension using multidisciplinary approach involving periodontics, endodontics and prosthodontics. The tooth surface loss was graded moderate to severe anteriorly and affecting the patient’s overall appearance and self-confidence. Rehabilitation of this case involves restoring the anterior teeth at an increased occlusal vertical dimension, using reorganised approach and allowing relative axial tooth movement posteriorly. Clinical Relevance: The author believes the understanding of available conservative treatment options, occlusion concepts, proper material handling and satisfactory communication with other disciplines and the laboratory aid a clinician in achieving the best treatment outcome and better patient satisfaction.
