Abstract

Background: Early loss of posterior teeth affects masticatory efficiency, follows with severely worn of remaining teeth and loss of occlusal vertical dimension. Tooth wear is prevalent dental condition among older adults, leading to pain and adversely affecting aesthetics, functionality and their overall quality of life. In this case report, using descriptive research methods to describe treatment methods and patient care guidelines for the patient had worn anterior teeth and the reduction of the vertical dimension. Overlay removable partial denture and metal removable partial denture were used after the decision of increasing vertical dimension by facial and physiological measurement. This case report showed that satisfactory clinical result and regular follow-up were achieved by restoring the vertical dimension with an improvement in esthetics, function and a better quality of life.
