Comprehensive, Phased Restoration of Worn Dentition Utilizing Digital Analysis and Diagnostic Protocols

In this case of a comprehensive dental restoration, a predictable course of treatment is demonstrated in which dental risk was stabilized and definitive treatment was provided in a phased approach to accommodate financial limitations of the patient. Utilizing digital photographic analysis, facial reference glasses, and intraoral scanning, the clinician implemented a treatment plan that was aimed at minimizing and managing the patient's biomechanical and functional risks and resolving his concerns about past failing dental work and an unattractive smile. The phased rehabilitation plan included opening of the vertical dimension of occlusion to accommodate restorative space, appropriate incisal edge position, and function.
