The treatment of localised anterior tooth wear with indirect Artglass restorations at an increased occlusal vertical dimension. Results after two years

Eur J Prosthodont Restor Dent. 2002 Sep;10(3):101-5.

Abstract

This study evaluated the use of indirect palatal veneers placed at an increased vertical dimension of occlusion in patients with advanced localised anterior tooth wear. A total of 75 indirect Artglass palatal veneers were cemented on 12 patients. Patients were reviewed until the posterior occlusion had re-established and then annually. Preliminary follow up at two years showed minor failures had occurred in 13.3% of cases. These were repaired with direct composite or polishing only. Posterior occlusion was restored after a mean duration of nine months in ten cases. Artglass indirect palatal restorations are an effective short-term treatment of localised anterior tooth wear.
