Management of worn dentition with resin-bonded cast metal lingual veneering.
The treatment of excessive tooth wear with limited interocclusal space is complicated. Nonprecious alloys may be cast into thin sections and bonded to the tooth surface with an adhesive cement. The technique may be applied to the provision of veneers to restore and protect worn tooth surfaces. This article describes the conservative management of excessively worn maxillary anterior teeth by use of this technique.
