Oral Rehabilitation of Patients with Worn Dentition in Category 1
Most common problems of patients with worn dentition are loss of chewing ability and esthetics, resulted from short teeth and reduced facial height. The patient with severely worn dentition can be classified into 3 categories. Category 1, excessive wear with loss of vertical dimension of occlusion, can be restored uncomplicatedly compared to category 2 and 3. This article describes the rehabilitation of patient in category 1 including the etiology of tooth wear, the examination and diagnosis, the treatment planning, the restoration procedures and the fabrication of proper occlusal scheme.
