Description

This case involved a patient with severe dental attrition and a collapsed vertical dimension of occlusion. A digital mock-up was designed as a provisional restoration to raise the bite and restore proper function and esthetics.

The workflow included:

Digital Smile Design (DSD) to plan the final esthetic outcome

Mock-up fabrication to test the new vertical dimension

Gingivectomy planning to correct gingival levels and harmonize the smile line

Functional evaluation of the new bite before definitive restorations

This approach provided both the patient and clinician with a clear preview of the final result, ensuring precision in treatment planning and predictable outcomes
