Abstract
Excessive wear causes many complications when untreated, so that accurate diagnosis, analysis and predictive treatment plan should be made, and through evaluation of vertical dimension and stepwise treatment, a stable inter-arch relationship can be set. For the long-term success of implant treatment, ideal position and angle of implant is important, and its importance increases especially in multiple implant cases. Therefore, thorough diagnosis and planning, accurate surgery and prosthodontic procedures are significant. In this case, a 68-year-old male patient with a loss of vertical dimension due to multiple tooth loss and overall tooth wear was planned with systematic analyses from the pre-treatment stage to rehabilitate vertical dimension. Full-mouth fixed rehabilitation with computer tomography guided implant surgery was performed to the newly set vertical dimension and attained satisfactory outcomes both functionally and esthetically.
