The Open Dentistry Journal 31 Oct 2023 CASE REPORT DOI: 10.2174/0118742106263229230926041533

Abstract

Introduction:

The demand for aesthetic restorations in dentistry has led to full-mouth reconstructions or rehabilitations (FMRs) as a viable solution for treating patients with worn and altered teeth. This study presents a clinical case report of a middle-aged patient with severe tooth wear and deep overbite with digital workflows.

Case Presentation:

The case report highlighted the successful application of digital technology in the comprehensive rehabilitation of a patient with worn dentition, showcasing improved esthetics, function, and patient comfort. The case report demonstrated the potential benefits of this rapid approach in achieving successful outcomes. Digital CAD/CAM technology is a solution for optimizing the prosthetic workflow, achieving time and cost efficiency, and delivering high-quality dental restorations.

Conclusion:

Future primary studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-ups can further validate the FMR digital approaches.
