Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

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.
