Canine Rise Method: A Conservative Approach for Worn Teeth Rehabilitation with Different Adhesive Restorative Materials

Figure 3

First case of localized dental wear. (a)–(c), intraoral and frontal views before treatment; (d), dental wear treatment without considering canine rise method by direct composite restoration seven years ago; (e)–(g), fracture of maxillary left central incisor two years after initial treatment. Therefore, this case was retreated by composite resin with the canine rise method as shown in (h) and (i). The backward position of the mandible is confirmed by comparing (f) and (g). The follow-up five years after initial dental wear treatment by direct composite resin with canine rise method is shown in (j)–(l), intraoral lateral and frontal views; (m) shows the relationship between upper and lower anterior teeth; (n), extraoral facial view.
