Full Rehabilitation in an Open-Bite Case Using Lithium Disilicate and Custom Digital Design.
Abstract
This article presents a clinical case of a comprehensive full-mouth rehabilitation in a 26-year-old female patient with an anterior open bite and accompanying mild chronic generalized periodontitis. Contemporary digital methods involving diagnosis, modeling, and restoration fabrication were utilized. The case encompassed the use of CAD software, a Kois deprogrammer, extraction of impacted molars, cut-back technique, and artistic layering of ceramics on a lithium-disilicate framework. Significant improvements were demonstrated in both esthetics and function, with results remaining stable after 1 year of follow-up.
