Abstract:

Diagnosis and treatment of severely worn dentition presents a significant clinical challenge. One of the most demanding aspects essential to long-term success of such cases involves the development of sufficient restorative space, while simultaneously fulfilling aesthetic, occlusal and functional parameters. Diagnosis is the most important part of treatment, as the clinician should gather enough information to help prevent further progression of pathology. Thus, the treatment plan must involve control of symptoms and removal of causes. This article focuses on the phase by phase diagnosis and treatment of such a patient including occupational /psychological counseling.
