Abstract
A common complication with the use of acrylic resin denture teeth is wear of the occlusal
surfaces. Modifying the occlusal surfaces with gold onlays has been suggested to combat
this phenomenon. This clinical report describes the use of zirconia as an alternative
material on a patient with increased tendencies for occlusal wear. The advantages
of using zirconia include wear resistance, decreased cost, and straightforward fabrication.
