Abstract
While a malaligned disk between respective bones is a potent risk for structural deterioration of a joint, malaligned teeth pose a constant esthetic and psychological trauma to a person. Age, social status, economic and time feasibility besides urgency of treatment limit orthodontic correction of malaligned teeth. Cast dowel core and crown offers useful solution to such clinical situations. This clinical report presents a case of full mouth occlusal rehabilitation that includes correction of a semi functional anterior guidance using cast post with realigned cores and crowns while instituting proper esthetics, phonetics and psychological comfort.
Keywords: overjet and overbite, cast post core, dowel, occlusion, dynaesthetic.
