Absence of bilateral canine guidance on lateral excursion and particularly Angle Class II malocclusion were considered important risk indicators for the development of TMD in this investigation, even when some sociodemographic factors were considered as effect modifiers.
In the severely eroded dentition, full-mouth adhesive rehabilitation is particularly challenging because of the large number of affected teeth, loss of VDO, esthetics, and anatomy. This article presents a case report of prosthetic rehabilitation in a patient with generalized dental wear. A 32-year-old male patient presented with clinically significant dental wear affecting all teeth, with dentin exposure and short clinical crowns. A treatment approach with all-ceramic crowns and veneers was proposed. All-ceramic indirect restorations proved durable, aesthetic, and protected the tooth structure, restoring the vertical dimension of occlusion to a very satisfactory degree. Indirect restorations based on the new vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) can restore anatomy and function.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
