Abstract

Loss of occlusal vertical dimension due to tooth wear, tooth decay and tooth loss. The  effect of decreased vertical dimension are reduced masticatory efficiency and poor esthetics. This clinical case report presented the management of a 57 years old Thai man with a loss of posterior teeth and severely attrition tooth. The treatment plan for oral rehabilitation was initially  making splint for the patients adaptation and muscular stability to the new occlusion condition. The   definitive treatment were root canal treatment, post and core crowns, crowns, bridges and      removable partial denture. This process can solve problems of malocclusion, improve masticatory systems and facial symmetry.
