Abstract

This is a case presentation aiming to suggest a less invasive and predictable approach for
cosmetic restoration of the front teeth in patients with parafunction, when slight to moderate toothwear is present. The background of this approach lies in the fact that moderate wear of teeth rarely
coincides with loss of vertical dimension, which makes the comprehensive treatment unnecessary, if
proper functional protocol is applied. The case represents a 40 year old female patient with
moderate tooth wear due to parafucntion / bruxism. At the very beginning anterior deprogrammer
(Lucia Jig) was used to deprogram the muscles that are guiding the mandible in a forced position.
All the premature contacts were removed, as well as all the interferences in protrusive and lateral
movement. The restoration of the front teeth has followed with lithium disilicate and composite
veneers, also with applied guidelines for myofunctional harmony. The balanced occlusion has been
controlled through a Fonseca questionary (for subjective feeling) and an EMG analysis to prove the
muscular balance.
