Patient:

30 year old, Female

Concerns:
  • All teeth are extremely sensitive (painful) teeth to food and drinks – impacting on normal eating, chewing and drinking functions.
Diagnosis:
  • Generalised moderate tooth wear from functional and parafunctional (bruxism) habits (clenching and grinding) and acid erosion
  • Heighted sensitivity – displaying signs of central sensitisation (chronic dental pain).
Management:
  • Upper jaw prosthodontic rehabilitation in reorganised approach at increased occlusal vertical dimension (bite height)
  • Composite filling and strategic ceramic / porcelain restorations (veneers, onlays) in teeth with moderate tooth wear.
  • Construction of upper full arch splint to protect remaining teeth and restorations from further wear and fracture (night use only).
  • Collaboration with an oral medicine specialist in the management of central sensitisation.
