ABSTRACT
Preparation of the oral cavity for prosthetic
treatment is an obligatory procedure and
focuses on improving the intraoral conditions
to perform the chosen treatment plan. Moreover,
it should also be seen as a preventive element
of pathological changes in the oral tissues of a
progressive nature. The paper presents a case of
a patient who had experienced iatrogenic neglect
of the reconstruction of pathological tooth wear
and treatment with the use of removable dentures
in the conditions of decreased vertical dimension
of the occlusion. The possibilities of a simple
rehabilitation protocol aimed at recreating the
appropriate occlusal conditions with direct
composite restorations as an element of preprosthetic treatment have been described.
