Bruxism is a parafunction that presents as an involuntary and unconscious disorder of mandibular movement, characterized by flatness and grinding of the teeth. It is a hyperactivity of the masticatory muscles that is mainly associated with stress and emotion, and occurs in wakefulness and / or during sleep, without defined etiology and treatment, although there are etiological hypotheses with a strong implication in the central nervous system. The most common approach is to multidiscipline, in order to minimize etiological factors and restore lost function and esthetics. This case report describes the diagnosis, the associated treatments and the clinical follow-up of a patient with posterior teeth severely worn due to bruxism. Therefore, were made restoration of vertical dimension of occlusion with ceramic “table top” overlays in the posterior teeth and laminate veneers in the anterior teeth. Subsequently, cognitive/behavioral therapies and interocclusal devices were used.
