This clinical report describes the complete mouth reconstruction of a patient with a worn dentition. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing processed porcelain fused-to-zirconia prostheses were used to achieve good esthetics, function, and biomechanics.

Dental implants are becoming the treatment of choice to replace missing teeth, especially if the adjacent teeth are free of restorations.
