Abstract:
We report the treatment of a case of acute sensitivity of the maxillary incisor teeth caused by chronic regurgitation of gastric contents. The resultant erosive lesions on the palatal surfaces involved extensive tooth surface loss with exposure of dentine. Palatal coverage of these teeth was achieved using gold alloy veneers and resulted in complete eradication of the symptoms. The procedures involved in the preparation and placement of the restorations are described.
