Full-mouth rehabilitation: a staged approach to treating the worn dentition.
When presented with a full-mouth rehabilitation of a worn dentition, a staged approach to restoration offers the clinician the chance to assess how a patient will respond to occlusal and esthetic changes. In this case involving an older patient who was concerned about wear on his teeth, a systematic, step-by-step process was employed to develop a comprehensive and specific treatment plan that would achieve all treatment goals. The patient's severely worn dentition was restored, and a stable, comfortable occlusion was achieved, with care taken to minimize biomechanical risk.
