Direct restoration of worn maxillary anterior teeth with a combination of composite resin materials: a case report.
Tooth loss, alterations on tooth structure, and reduced vertical dimension are known to severely compromise the stomatognathic system. This case report describes the treatment of a patient who presented with an extremely worn maxillary anterior dentition with a loss of posterior support owing to the loss of almost all the posterior teeth, except the mandibular premolars. Provisional removable partial dentures were used to create an optimum maxillomandibular relationship and to provide restorative space prior to the restoration of the remaining teeth. This restoration was accomplished with a combination of layered hybrid and microfilled composite materials, which restored the maxillary anterior teeth to optimum esthetics and function.
