| Popis: | The management of tooth wear, especially attrition, is becoming a subject of increasing interest in the prosthodontic literature, both from a preventive and a restorative point of view. Dealing with patients who have worn dentition is intricate and challenging. Precise clinical and radiographic assessments, along with a diagnostic wax-up and OVD determination, are pivotal in managing this condition. A crucial element involves establishing the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) using a systematic method, resulting in a reliable treatment outlook. In this case report attrited teeth were restored with metal-ceramic restorations and a removable partial denture was fabricated for maxillary and mandibular edentulous areas. An occlusal splint was used to protect the restorations. The treatment protocol yielded a pleasing aesthetic and functional outcome. This result can encourage clinicians to seek accurate diagnosis and treatment planning to treat such patients.
