Systematic analysis of an anterior wear case to fulfill esthetic and functional objectives

It is beneficial to have a system in place for analysis of clinical data collected from a patient's initial examination. This system has four diagnostic categories that enable the clinician to thoroughly assess the clinical findings and establish a comprehensive diagnosis. An optimal treatment plan can be formulated to positively affect the prognosis of the presenting conditions. With the patient's treatment goals in mind, the clinician can determine the minimum amount of dentistry needed to increase long-term prognosis.
