Direct adhesive reconstructions for restoration of posterior teeth with erosive tooth wear

This article presents the use of direct adhesive composite restorations as a way of reconstructing a dentition severely altered by erosion. To reconstruct the occlusal surfaces, transfer splints are used that are made on the basis of individual wax-up models. The procedure described is a well-researched and proven method for restoring teeth with erosion-related loss of hard tooth substance. As with all new procedures, there will be a certain learning curve for the practical dentist after which high-quality restorations can be implemented with this technique.PMID:37386907
