The number of patients with tooth wear has increased dramatically during the last 15-20 years. When the wear is severe and pathologic, a rehabilitation of the worn dentition is needed. In younger patients, a dynamic, minimally invasive, adhesive treatment concept is preferred, nl. localized or complete build-up of occlusion with direct composite restorations. This restorative treatment has to be planned using (digital) study models, intra-oral and extra-oral pictures, and a (digital) diagnostic wax-up. This course covers the different aspects of localized/complete rehabilitation of tooth wear with direct composite restorations. Several methods to build up the teeth in the posterior region will be discussed and practiced during hands-on sessions: the stamp technique or the technique of free-hand modeling in combination with a conventional composite and the injection flowable technique. Finally, the durability of the direct composite restorations placed for treating severe tooth wear will be shown in several cases after 5-15 years of clinical functioning. PROGRAM
