An Aesthetic and Functional Rehabilitation: A Case Study.

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Restorative Dentistry
• Dental Aesthetics

Background:

• Multidisciplinary dental treatment planning is essential for complex cases.
• Restorative modalities offer solutions for functional and aesthetic deficits.
• Addressing anterior open bite and curve of Spee requires careful consideration.

Observation:

• A case study involving a patient with an anterior open bite and exaggerated curve of Spee.
• The patient presented with aesthetic concerns regarding maxillary anterior teeth width/length ratio.
• Posterior function was compromised.

Findings:

• Successful correction of anterior open bite and curve of Spee achieved through restorative modalities.
• Restored maxillary anterior teeth exhibited improved width/length proportions and aesthetic harmony with mandibular veneers.
• Restored posterior function using implant-retained crowns.
• Established occlusal harmony and stability via cuspid guidance and anterior disclusion.

Implications:

• A multidisciplinary approach can yield excellent functional and aesthetic outcomes in dental rehabilitation.
• Careful selection of restorative materials is critical for the longevity of dental restorations.
• This approach provides a viable treatment pathway for patients with similar complex dental conditions.
