After rubber dam placement, amalgam fillings were removed and tooth surfaces prepared and cleaned with sandblast- ing, before applying com- posite. A highly filled homogenous nanohybrid material (inspiro) was used and sculpted before light curing, enabling proper anatomy and function to be established. Figs. 2d & e Pre-op diagnostic wax-up, creating a new and improved occlusal and anatomical posterior scheme. The full-mouth wax-up is made prior to treatment and establishes the new VDO. Silicone indexes can serve to build up lingual and buccal cusps to the correct level if needed. Figs. 2a–c Pre-op situation showing moderate to severe tooth wear, due to combined abrasion and erosion etiologies. However, the amount of tissue loss does not speak in favor of a conventional prosthetic solution; rather, an interceptive solution using direct composite restorations would be used in this case.
