Abstract:
Dental erosion has been reported in the literature with particular attention to etiology and diagnosis of the disorder. Unfortunately, little information exists to guide dental professionals in treatment planning predictable restorative outcomes for this patient population. This case report describes a unique presentation of severe dental erosion related to alcoholism and an eating disorder. Diagnosis and etiology of the condition are discussed and a comprehensive list of treatment options is evaluated. The interim occlusal overlay prosthesis is presented as a diagnostic and therapeutic appliance for use in this unique patient population.
