In recent years, tooth wear has been a growing concern in dentistry as it has become increasingly prevalent among the population. At the same time, the development of adhesive techniques has enabled minimally invasive treatment protocols, with the goal of preserving and protecting teeth for as long as possible. This clinical report presents the case of a full-mouth rehabilitation patient with tooth wear who was treated using minimally invasive techniques. Esthetic and functional outcomes were designed and monitored using digital tools such as digital impressions, 3D facial scans, a digital tooth library, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), MRI, and kinesiographic (KS) analysis throughout the treatment. To increase the vertical dimension of occlusion, instead of using traditional centric relation (CR) methods, a myocentric relation (MCR) technique was employed. This approach allowed the clinician to maintain the occlusal Class I situation, avoiding more invasive orthodontic treatment or maxillofacial surgery and resulting in reduced morbidity, treatment time, and cost for the patient. At the 1-year follow-up, good patient adaptation was shown, suggesting that the MCR concept is a viable alternative to conventional CR methods in appropriate cases.
