OBJECTIVES. Dental erosion and wear are more and more diagnosed, especially in young patients. Occlusal Vertical Dimension (OVD) reduction is the extreme consequence of these conditions. The aesthetic and functional rehabilitation is of utter importance, with the use of minimally invasive and easy-to-do protocols ensuring stable results over time. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A case of OVD loss with anterior open bite treated with a removable provisional prosthesis and adhesive final prosthesis is reported. RESULTS. One year from the prosthetic fixed rehabilitation, the patient's aesthetics and function appear to be stable. CONCLUSIONS. The removable device used in this case allowed to better plan chair-side times and to maintain aesthetics and function during the provisional phase.
