[Rehabilitation of the occlusion of eroded teeth].
Intrinsic and extrinsic acids are the main etiologic reason for dental erosion. In combination of mechanical abrasion and tooth wear, the processes of erosion lead to substantial loss of tooth structure. In cases of severe eating disorders, like anorexia and bulimia, the whole supragingival tooth structure may be worn off over the years. These patients will need extensive reconstructive dental therapy to regain function and esthetics of their dentition. The described case report shows how a dentition, severely damaged by erosion, can be restored properly in private practice with regard to function and esthetics. The treatment plan and the therapy will be step by step systematically illustrated.
