Abstract

To rehabilitate a patient with inappropriate occlusion due to posterior support loss, it is necessary to achieve an appropriate occlusal vertical dimension and create prostheses that demonstrate stable occlusion at the centric relation for full mouth restoration. This case shows full mouth rehabilitation in a patient with missing posterior teeth and tooth wear, achieved through implant-supported prostheses and zirconia full-veneer crowns. To assess adaptation to the increased occlusal vertical dimension, an occlusal splint and temporary restorations were secured. By fabricating the definitive restorations based on the anterior guidance of the temporary restorations, stable occlusal rehabilitation was successfully achieved.
