Worn-out teeth are a common finding in routine dental practice. Tooth wear results in discomfort during mastication, poor aesthetics and reduced vertical dimension.

The following case report describes the complete oral rehabilitation of a patient with mutilated dentition and reduced vertical dimension resulting from attrition. A detailed treatment plan was chalked out involving restorations and endodontic therapy followed by crowns and bridges along with institution of optimal oral hygiene measures.
