Abstract
AbstractWorn denture teeth continue to be a significant complication with implant‐supported prostheses. This article discusses a case report that used an intraoral scanning system to restore an existing maxillary implant‐supported prosthesis with significant posterior occlusal wear. IPS e.max (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) restorations were fabricated and cemented to the prepared posterior denture teeth to re‐establish the occlusal vertical dimension and to help prevent further wear of the occlusal surfaces.
