Hi All
Just received a call from a client in regards to a bruxism patient. Client wants me to meet with him and the patient to discuss some ideas in a couple of days.
Issue seems to be the patient has a full upper over a part COCR and is an extremely heavy bruxer
F/- is less than 2 years old and has had multiple midline fractures as well as the teeth have been ground down to nothing. Client says the denture looks like a 10 year old denture already.
Just wondering what advice/plan i could go into the surgery armed with.
My initial thoughts are we could possible do a COCR palate for the denture to give some extra strength, however not sure how we stop the patient grinding the teeth down to stumps again.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Tony
