Abstract

The wear and depletion of tooth material happens on the occlusal surfaces of teeth throughout life. However, uncontrolled occlusal wear may give rise to trauma to the pulp, occlusal disharmony, esthetic imperfection, and impairment of masticatory function. Tooth wear can be of three types namely, attrition, abrasion, and erosion depending on the etiology. Therefore, it is important to recognize the factors which produce excessive wear and reduced vertical dimension of occlusion. This case report presents the full mouth rehabilitation of complete maxillary and mandibular arch in a 45-year-old male patient with missing teeth and severe attrition. The patient was given porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns on all maxillary and mandibular teeth and treated using the Hobo's twin-stage concept with canine guided occlusal scheme.

Keywords: Reduced vertical dimension, porcelain fused to metal (PFM), broadricks plane Analyser, Attrition.
