Abstract
Since our dental school education, we were told that "we could not open the bite". Many clinicians, avoid treating the worn dentition and extreme “bruxer” patients, but others had great success. This program will help demystify the practical methods of how to restore vertical dimension and OVD position up to 10 mm. Long-term success of these patients with these techniques has been documented and recorded for the past 16 years. CBCT scans, analysis of TMJ joint positions, pre-op and post-operatively have shown that these positions are stable and long-term results have been seen with minimal complications. Using the current standards of scanning, technology and printing technology, we can now predictively treat the worn dentition, as well as using our multi-specialty approach to treatment planning and have excellent outcomes. This program will demonstrate predicable approach to full arch occlusion and help our professionals in private practice and in dental education universities.
