title: A multidisciplinary approach to restoring posterior bite collapse.
abstract: Treatment planning of posterior bite collapse cases with loss of vertical dimension can be complex. In cases where a patient's vertical dimension of occlusion has been lost, there often is drifting of posterior teeth, flaring of maxillary anterior teeth, and inadequate interarch space for a restoration. These factors are further complicated by the esthetic demands of the patient and the dentist and by the use of implants to replace missing teeth. This article presents a case report of a multidisciplinary treatment plan to achieve a functional and esthetic restoration.
