Tooth wear can occur through erosion, abfraction, abrasion, or attrition. Excessive wear off the teeth can cause esthetic deformity, occlusal disharmony, pulpal damage, and impaired function. Anterior guidance is lost when anterior teeth are severely lost. Such severe tooth wear and abnormalities frequently affect a patient's speech, mastication, and appearance, which in turn affects the patient’s lifestyle. Rehabilitation of the compromised dentition is therefore required. Full mouth rehabilitation enhances a patient's health and function by integrating the science of restorative dentistry with aesthetics. This clinical case report discussedthe simplified systematic full mouth rehabilitation approach and management of an attrited dentition which helped the patient to adapt well to new restoration.
