title: Restoring anterior guidance by use of composite resin.
abstract: Occlusal therapy has been noted for removing tooth structure by means of occlusal equilibration to eliminate destructive forces. Anterior guidance, the protective mechanism in occlusion, frequently can be restored in order to correct malocclusion. The article presented describes a simple, non-invasive, reversible and inexpensive restoration of anterior guidance. The rationale, research and technique shown include a case presentation.
