Restoration of the incisal edge of the lower teeth brings with it a problem of constant repair even more in bruxist patients.
When the incisal edges of the lower anterior teeth are severely worn, the indication is usually a porcelain dental crown. But there is the possibility of rehabilitating these teeth with the edge canalization technique, which considerably improves the retention of adhesive systems such as dental resin.
This type of restoration should have a periodic annual check to repair certain levels of wear. It can also be accompanied by the making of a night protection splint.
