A preliminary wax up as a diagnostic aid in occlusal rehabilitation

Full Mouth Rehabilitation of a Patient with Enamel Hypoplasia Using Hobo's Twin-Tables Technique for Occlusal Rehabilitation: A Case Report

“…The chairside disadvantages include ardous, unpredictable patient visits, full arch anaesthesia, full arch chairside treatment restorations, multiple occlusal records and possible loss of the vertical dimension of occlusion. [6][7][8][9][10][11] The cost and laboratory time involved in fabricating the processed acrylic resin temporary restorations are a limitation but the complexity of the patient's treatment warrants the extra effort. [12] One of the prime goals of any successful occlusal rehabilitation is disclusion by the anterior guidance of all posterior teeth in eccentric movements.…”

Full-mouth rehabilitation of a case of generalized enamel hypoplasia using a twin-stage procedure

“…When all of the prepared teeth are on a single articulator, there is flexibility in developing the occlusal plane, occlusal theme, embrasures, crown contour, and esthetics. The chairside disadvantages include[ 1 ] arduous, unpredictable patient visits,[ 2 ] full arch anesthesia,[ 3 ] full arch chairside treatment restorations,[ 4 ] multiple occlusal records, and[ 5 6 ] possible loss of the vertical dimension of occlusion. Miscellaneous disadvantages are (1) the need for accurate cross-arch multiple tooth impressions and/or (2) the need for transfer techniques to fabricate full arch working casts.…”

Rehabilitation of a patient with severely attrited dentition– A case report

“…Diagnostic wax-up was carried out keeping in mind the anterior guidance, existing occlusal scheme, vertical dimension and mutilated dentition. (7,8) Then an occlusal splint was provided to the patient as part of reversible interventional modalities to evaluate adaptation of the patient to altered VDO. The patient was kept on diagnostic and observational period of 6 weeks before the definitive restorative phase of rehabilitation was started.…”
