Abstract

Background:  Wearing out of natural enamel is a common phenomenon in the dentulous population, although it is seen in aged people but has become common among relatively young patients. One of the most demanding aspects of such cases involves the development of sufficient restorative space, while simultaneously fulfilling aesthetic, occlusal and functional parameters essential to long term success when evaluating and diagnosing a patient with severely worn dentition, emphasis must be placed on the occlusal prematurities preventing condylar seating into the centric relation position. The requirement for increasing vertical dimension will be confirmed, and tissue tolerance for change in vertical dimension will be determined by giving occlusal splints or provisional prosthesis.
