Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Dental Materials Science
  • Restorative Dentistry

Background:

  • Severe tooth wear, often caused by attrition, abrasion, and erosion, presents significant restorative challenges.
  • Conservative restorative dentistry aims to preserve healthy tooth structure while improving aesthetics and function.
  • Advancements in dental materials provide new opportunities for less invasive and more esthetic restorations.

Observation:

  • A case report details the conservative restoration of severe tooth wear.
  • The wear was attributed to attrition and erosion.
  • The treatment involved lengthening teeth, restoring lost structure, and preventing further wear.

Findings:

  • A combination of bonded porcelain, a multi-cure resin system, and a novel glass-ionomer restorative material was utilized.

  • This approach successfully restored tooth length, function, and aesthetics.
  • The resulting restorations were strong, durable, and highly esthetic, requiring no anesthesia.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential of modern dental materials for conservative and esthetic management of severe tooth wear.
    • The described techniques offer a viable alternative to more aggressive restorative procedures.
    • Successful restoration can significantly improve patient quality of life by restoring function and appearance.
