Case report: the management of severe tooth wear with palatal resin bonded cast restorations combined with removable partial dentures.
The restoration of advanced tooth wear can present considerable problems. Conventional fixed prosthodontic treatment can be destructive to the already compromised dental tissues, time consuming and therefore costly. With recent advances in resin bonded technology, this may now be considered an option for definitive treatment in such cases. This case illustrates the use of palatal resin retained cast metal veneers. These veneers restored the worn palatal surfaces of the anterior maxillary teeth, protected them from further wear and controlled thermal sensitivity. They also provided support for a conventional maxillary partial denture.
