Restoring esthetics in eroded anterior teeth: a conservative multidisciplinary approach

Gen Dent. 2011 Jan-Feb;59(1):48-52.

Abstract

Consuming a highly acidic diet can lead to erosion or excessive wear of dental hard tissues, resulting in the need for oral rehabilitation. Previously, a severely eroded dentition could be rehabilitated only by extensive crown and bridge placement or by removable partial dentures. However, developments in adhesive dentistry have made it possible to restore the esthetics and function of eroded teeth in a minimally invasive manner. This case report presents a conservative, multidisciplinary approach to restoring severe wear due to dental erosion using proper techniques and materials.
