Key Points
-
Emphasises the need for an accurate diagnosis and the strategic management of occlusal changes to treat complex cases effectively and predictably.
-
Stresses the role of fully reversible and adjustable techniques (where possible) to evaluate planned functional and aesthetic changes.
-
Provides an overview of the merits and drawbacks of contemporary adhesive restorations used to treat tooth wear.
Abstract
Paper 3 of this series on the current concepts of tooth wear management will focus on the provision of active restorative intervention for cases presenting with generalised tooth wear. The use of both contemporary adhesive and traditional conventional techniques applied to treat cases of generalised tooth wear will be discussed, including a consideration of the merits and drawbacks of each approach respectively.
