Full‐Mouth Rehabilitation of a Patient With Severely Worn Dentition and Uneven Occlusal Plane

Fracture Resistance of A Newly Proposed Occlusal Veneer Design Using Two Different CAD/CAM Ceramic Materials

“…39 Therefore, the importance of re-establishment of optimum functional equilibrium parameters had been the area of interest and concern for many researchers. 1,6,8,15 Recent developments of restorative materials, technology of construction techniques, and advanced adhesive approaches have encouraged the fixed prosthodontists towards more conservative plans of treatment. [7][8][9]40 Occlusal veneers are considered the latest therapeutic approach to solve the problem of advanced erosive lesions conservatively.…”

“…Restorative treatment of this severely worn dentition was traditionally performed using multiple full-coverage restorations, crown lengthening, and elective tooth devitalization. 6 However, for the interest of limiting the amount of adjunctive procedures required for dental reconstruction, the trend toward conservatism in tooth preparation and restoration design is strongly re-emerging. [7][8][9] The translational application of principles used in treatment with anterior porcelain laminate Results: Regardless of the ceramic type, the modified occlusal veneer design showed statistically significant higher fracture resistance mean value (1106.0 N) than conventional design (957.6 N) at P ≤ 0.05.…”

Fatigue Resistance of Occlusal Veneers Constructed From Different Cad/Cam Materials With Different Occlusal Thicknesses.

“…Occlusal veneers have been proposed as a conservative substitute for onlays and full-coverage crowns in the management of extensive erosive and/or abrasive defects. (2,3) In the present study, human natural teeth were selected due to their natural elastic characteristics, bonding capability and strength that better matching the clinic situations. (15) CAD/CAM technology was chosen in this study because of its ability to control thickness and geometry of the restorations during fabrication process, it also provides standardized construction technique avoiding laboratory dissimilarities.…”

“…(1) Restorative managements of this severely worn dentition were conventionally performed using inlays, onlays, elective tooth devitalization and multiple full-coverage restorations. (2) Some of these methods can be very aggressive. Consequently, the development towards the less invasive treatment should be the first choice, as they conserve the dental tissue and pulp vitality.…”

“…Consequently, the development towards the less invasive treatment should be the first choice, as they conserve the dental tissue and pulp vitality. (2) Occlusal veneers are modern extra coronal conservative restorations considered as a substitute solution for restoring vertical dimension in considerable occlusal tooth loss due to parafunctional habit or progressive physiological processes. The standard recom mendation for ceramics restoration thickness is 1.5 to 2.0 mm.…”
