Key Points

Describe the multidisciplinary clinical management and five-year maintenance outcomes in an older patient presenting with Class II division 2 malocclusion, excessive deep bite, and generalized severe tooth wear.
Treated a 69-year-old male presenting with Class II division 2 malocclusion, severe generalized tooth wear, and restricted restorative space.
Executed selective tooth reduction coupled with staged full-mouth prosthetic reconstruction to re-establish anterior guidance and bilateral posterior support.
Monitored occlusal stability and managed biological complications throughout a 5-year follow-up maintenance protocol.
Restored balanced, equal-intensity occlusal contacts across all teeth in maximum intercuspal position alongside harmonious anterior guidance.
Resolved baseline functional chewing limitations and esthetic compromises through customized prosthetic contours.
Maintained stable functional and esthetic outcomes over the 5-year follow-up through routine management of minor biological complications.
