Abstract:
Occlusal adjustment has been typically performed empirically without mapping occlusal interferences. This report outlines a digital workflow for occlusal adjustment in a patient with an open occlusal relationship and premature contacts. Three-dimensional (3D) printed guides facilitated extensive grinding that led to the development of occlusal equilibration with precision and efficiency.
