Description
Leonardo Mancini and co-authors describe the full-mouth rebuilding of a young patient's teeth, worn down severely by acid erosion. Such wear is rising among young people, often tied to frequent soft drink use. Patients report sensitive teeth, trouble chewing, and shame about their smile, all of which erode daily life.
The team planned the work digitally, with mock-ups of the final teeth and printed guides for shaping. They chose a strong glass-ceramic that looks like natural enamel and can be made very thin. Thin restorations mean less healthy tooth is cut away, and the pieces were glued in place with adhesive methods. The case shows how digital planning makes gentle, full repair possible.
