Full mouth rehabilitation
A 50-year-old male presented with difficulty eating and concerns about his appearance. He was motivated but had a limited budget. Clinical examination showed severe tooth wear spanning from second premolar to second premolar, accompanied by a reduced vertical dimension. A shortened arch approach with mutually protected occlusion was adopted, with the aim of encouraging posterior eruption through the Dahl effect.


Treatment provided by Ignacio Farga Niñoles:
-
Lower arch: Injectable composite restorations within second premolars.
-
Upper arch: Crown restorations in polished PICN multicolour to reduce lab cost.
-
Stabilisation splint: Delivered to protect the restorations.

The patient reported improved comfort and appearance. Posterior occlusion is being monitored over time.
