Full-mouth rehabilitation of a patient with severe wear using digital facebow transfer and virtual articulator / 대한치과보철학회지

ABSTRACT

The progressive wear of teeth is a physiologic process of aging, but excessive wear can lead to occlusal disharmony, tooth sensitivity and pulp exposure, decreased masticatory efficiency, and aesthetic problems. It should be treated by evaluating the cause of tooth wear and establishing a stable centric relation with appropriate vertical dimension of occlusion and occlusal plane. The present case report successfully rehabilitated a full-mouth case of a severely worn dentition with the use of digital facebow transfer and virtual articulator.
