Prosthetic Rehabilitation of a Patient With Worn Dentition: A Case Report

“…Often the occlusal vertical dimension can remain unchanged with mechanisms such as tooth riding and alveolar bone growth. 6,14 It is important for physicians to communicate using various systems to decide whether it is necessary to treat dental erosion. The use of systems such as TWES 2.0 both facilitates the decision-making process of physicians and provides an objective evaluation.…”

“…Malpositions, malocclusions, parafunctional habits can cause pathological intrusion. 6 Abrasion is the loss of dental tissue seen as a result of abnormal mechanical effects. It is classified according to its etiology and among many others commonly as a result of toothbrush abrasion.…”

“…It is classified according to its etiology and among many others commonly as a result of toothbrush abrasion. 5,6 Erosion is the loss of dental tissue caused by chemical reasons and there is no bacterial agent effect. There are external and internal reasons in its etiology.…”

“…Abfraction occurs as a result of occlusal forces and there is enamel loss in the cervical regions. 5,6 The chewing system is a complex system consisting of teeth, bones, muscles, ligaments and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). 7 Occlusal wear generally coexists with lose occlusal vertical dimension (OVD).…”

“…Partial prostheses or occlusal splints should be used first to ensure compliance. 6,10 Therefore, the reasons for wear and loss of vertical size must be correctly determined in order to perform a healthy treatment. [3][4][5] The aim of this clinical report is to describe the rehabilitation of a patient having aesthetic and functional complaints caused by multiple tooth and vertical dimension loss by using fixed and removable prostheses in maintained occlusal vertical dimension.…”
