Dental implants: Complications, mishaps and failures

Abstract

T presentation will inform the participants about loss of vertical dimension due to the wear of the natural teeth and importance of diagnosis of pseudo prognathism due to loss of occlusal vertical dimension. Many treatment modalities have been cited in the literature for treatment of pseudo prognathism and worn down dentition. Many of these treatments require invasive dental procedures. The advances of material and adhesive technology have created the opportunity to restore the occlusal vertical dimension and worn down natural dentition with minimally adhesive methods. A step by step procedure for treatment of this type of abnormality will be presented in a severely worn dentition treated with minimally invasive method. Within this case presentation, the steps of restoring occlusal vertical dimension and selection of material based on their physical properties will be discussed.
