Description

Patient: The patient was a 57-year-old male with doubts about the treatment plan for attrition at a dental office. Occlusal vertical dimension was increased before placement of prosthesis, and the function and shape of the tooth were restored satisfactorily.<br>Discussion: As a result of the examination, bruxism was suspected to be a major contributing factor to attrition. Therefore a splint was used to determine the permissible distance of the occlusal vertical dimension. The diagnostic waxing up was then transferred to provisional restorations and observed for four months. Long-term observation seemed useful for successful results.<br>Conclusion: The bite raising led to improvement of the esthetical and functional problems. Occlusal vertical dimension is retained without severe attrition or temporomandibular arthralgia.
