Abstract

This clinical report illustrates the oral rehabilitation of a 48 year old female patient with severely worn teeth with accompanying loss of vertical dimension of occlusion. The aim of treatment was to restore aesthetics and improve masticatory function and it was achieved by placing a tooth supported overdenture with custom made precision attachment from mandibular right and left first premolars, single crowns in relation to maxillary centrals, laterals, canines and right and left first premolars, metal-ceramic three unit fixed partial dentures for the missing maxillary and mandibular right and left first molars. Metal occlusal surfaces were preferred for strength and durability and keeping the cost factor in mind as per the patients request. This treatment option has been suggested to be efficient and cost effective,with the final outcome pleasing to the patient.
