Thank you for an informative article on restoring a bruxism patient with veneer. I want to restore them but I don't know how to get them into proper occlusion. My occlusion knowledge is limited to what they taught in dental school from 1992-1996.
In most maxillary 8-to-10-unit cases, you will simply be recording whatever their habitual bite is (CO or centric occlusion). You don’t usually have to be concerned about the CR until as all of the upper teeth have been prepped . . . as in full arch Rehabs. I’m fairly convinced that most bruxism damage occurs during sleep . . . so needless to say, a night guard is the key component. |
