CAD-CAM composites, Worn dentition, minimally invasive treatment
Brief summary
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a minimally invasive treatment, consisting of partial polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network (PICN) restorations, used in case of rehabilitation of advanced and generalized dental wear over a period of 5 years.
Interventions
Realization of minimally invasive prostheses in PICN (CAD-CAM composite)for worn dentition. Tooth tissues are preserved: no preparation is performed and ultra-thin restorations are CAD-CAM milled.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patients presenting advanced and generalized worn dentition * All the posterior teeth (minus 2) present wear * All the anterior teeth (tooth n°13 to n°23) need palatal veneers
Exclusion criteria
* More than one missing tooth on each mandible * Patients with crown(s), bridge(s) or implant(s) * Patients with non-stabilized parodontite * Smoker * Patients suffering from : 1. Parkinson's Disease 2. Severe osteoarthritis 3. Spontaneous pain in the temporomandibular joints, shift of the mandible and an opening limit (25 mm) * Conditions or circumstances, in the opinion of the investigator, which would prevent completion of study participation or interfere with analysis of study results, such as history of non-compliance, or unreliability
