title: Using zirconia-based prosthesis in a complete-mouth reconstruction treatment for worn dentition with the altered vertical dimension of occlusion.
abstract: This clinical report describes the complete mouth reconstruction of a patient with a worn dentition. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing processed porcelain fused-to-zirconia prostheses were used to achieve good esthetics, function, and biomechanics.
