In the severely eroded dentition, full-mouth adhesive rehabilitation is particularly challenging because of the large number of affected teeth, loss of VDO, esthetics, and anatomy. This article presents a case report of prosthetic rehabilitation in a patient with generalized dental wear. A 32-year-old male patient presented with clinically significant dental wear affecting all teeth, with dentin exposure and short clinical crowns. A treatment approach with all-ceramic crowns and veneers was proposed. All-ceramic indirect restorations proved durable, aesthetic, and protected the tooth structure, restoring the vertical dimension of occlusion to a very satisfactory degree. Indirect restorations based on the new vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) can restore anatomy and function.
