Abstract
Dental wear is a multifactorial progressive condition of hard tissue loss, often decreasing
the vertical dimension and leading to functional and esthetic consequences. Regaining
space by using contemporary restorative materials has enabled less invasive treatment
options. This clinical report describes a complete mouth restoration of a patient
with severe generalized dental wear by progressively increasing the vertical dimension
and using conservative prosthetic treatment options to maintain pulp vitality. This
multidisciplinary approach is considered safe and predictable, providing long-term
comfort and esthetics.
