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

Table 1

Techniques for creating space to allow the restoration of worn teeth.

Technique	Advantages	Disadvantages
Space creation by distalization of the mandible technique [24].	(i) No (or little) anterior tooth reduction required; (ii) Can enable worn teeth to be restored without increasing the vertical dimension	Limited to cases where large horizontal RCP-ICP (retruded contact position-inter cuspal position) slide exists
Space creation by increase the vertical dimension technique [24].	No need for an occlusal reduction; therefore, full axial wall length of preparation can be maintained	All teeth in one or both arches may need restorations
Canine rise method	(i) Conservative and not destructive to teeth; (ii) Worn teeth can be restored without an increase in the vertical dimension of occlusion; (iii) It is possible to finish the restoration of the worn teeth without articulator devices; (iv) Because of neuromuscular regulation, it is possible to finish the treatment in a shorter duration	Monitoring the restored canine teeth is essential because losing the restoration may result in damaging of other anterior restored teeth.
