Abstract :

This case report describes how to establish the favorable anterior guidance in an anterior tooth
wear patient. The anterior tooth wear is present at lower anterior teeth with an improper contour upper
anterior fixed partial dental prosthesis (FPDP) 12-21. The FPDP was removed and replaced with a
provisional cantilever FPDP. The favorable anterior guidance was established using a custom incisal
guide table. Final restoration was placed. Periodic follow up evaluation is necessary.
