Reconstructing The Eroded Dentition With Bonded Ceramics

The prevalence of worn dentition in adults ranges from 29–100%, with approximately 3% exhibiting severe wear. When combined with occlusal dysfunction, treatment prognosis can become unpredictable, leading to premature restorative failure, patient dissatisfaction, and clinician frustration.

Learning objectives:

1. Identify key risk factors associated with worn dentition and occlusal dysfunction that may compromise restorative outcomes.
2. Develop a predictable treatment plan for reconstructing eroded dentition with bonded ceramic restorations.
3. Apply evidence-based bonding and occlusal protocols to reduce premature failure and improve long-term restorative success.
