Digital workflow for the rehabilitation of the excessively worn dentition

Int J Esthet Dent. 2021;16(1):50-74.

Abstract

Excessively worn dentition is a clinical condition that mainly impacts the esthetic appearance of patients. In many cases, this may even extend to affect their psychologic condition and social interaction, and consequently reduce their quality of life. The treatment steps of such cases involve comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis, a rigid rehabilitation plan, and a careful and well-structured treatment execution. To facilitate long-term success, patient compliance and a strict recall program should be implemented. The case report presented in this article provides a step-by-step description of the treatment of an excessively worn dentition with the aid of the digital workflow.
