Functional reconstruction of abraded canines by resin-bonded all-ceramic guiding elements.
A method for establishing canine guidance is described. The individual functional angulation of the guiding plane should be calculated from the data of a computer-assisted diagnostic analysis. All-ceramic guiding elements are fabricated on removable refractory dies in mounted casts. Minimal preparations facilitate transfer of the all-ceramic resin-bonded guiding elements from the die to the tooth. Initial clinical experience up to 1 year has shown excellent esthetics and stable functional improvement.
