The materials available today allow for extensive oral rehabilitations in a non-invasive way, and often an orthodontic preparation is useful and, thanks to the use of clear aligners, is predictable and comfortable. A preliminary study of the wax-up, mock-up, and set-up allow the clinician to plan every aspect of the treatment in detail. Furthermore, the procedure offers the patient an intuitive and understandable view of the expected final result. The new proposed method, called “speed up therapy”, allows for the integration of the orthodontic set-up with the mock-up technique, simulating the occlusal and aesthetic components of the planned restoration, in all details. The clinical case presented, demonstrates step by step the predictability and clinical reliability of the proposed procedure. The final clinical result coincides exactly with the initial mock-up and demonstrates that the proposed method is predictable and reliable. The correct execution of the technique is rigorously customized, and its success is operator dependent, both for the clinical aspects and for the dental laboratory. Thus, the visualization of the objectives of the treatment constitutes a decisive support for the clinician and provides the patient with the possibility of benefiting from an immediate improvement by making it easier for them to accept a treatment plan. The visualization also includes an orthodontic phase that potentially lengthens the treatment but makes the realization more conservative and predictable.

Background: In recent years, thanks to the improvement of adhesive techniques, patients affected by tooth wear, related to erosion and/or parafunctional habits, can undergo restoration by adding only what has been lost of their dentition (additive approach). However, since not all clinicians are convinced that dental rehabilitation should be proposed in the early stages of exposed dentin, several treatments are often postponed. It is important to emphasize that, in the early stages, the clinical approach should remain conservative, focusing on dietary counseling, the modification of harmful habits, fluoride application, and risk factor management. Only when these preventive and non-invasive strategies prove insufficient, and the condition continues to progress, should invasive restorative treatments be considered. Unfortunately, epidemiological studies are reporting an increase in the number of young patients affected by erosive tooth wear, and not intercepting these cases earlier could lead to a severe degradation of the affected dentition. In addition, parafunctional habits are also becoming more frequent among patients. The combination of erosion and attrition can be very destructive, and may progress rapidly once dentin is exposed and the risk factors remain unaddressed. The aim of this report was to present a conservative full-mouth rehabilitation approach for severe erosive lesions and to provide a 10-year follow-up assessing the biological, functional, and esthetic outcomes. Methods: In this article, the postponed restorative treatment of a patient, suffering from severe tooth wear, is illustrated. The patient had sought dental treatment in the past; however, due to the already very compromised dentition, a conventional but very aggressive treatment was proposed and refused. Four years later, when the patient finally accepted an alternative conservative therapy, the tooth degradation was very severe, especially at the level of the maxillary anterior teeth. The combination of three different approaches, Speed-Up Therapy, BOPT (Biologically-Oriented Preparation Technique), and the 3 Step Technique, however, improved the capacity to successfully complete the difficult therapeutic task. Results: The biological goals (maintenance of the pulp vitality of all of the teeth and the minimal removal of healthy tooth structure) were accomplished, relying only on adhesive techniques. Conclusions: The overall treatment was very comfortable for the patient and less complicated for the clinician. At 10-year follow-up, biological, functional, and esthetic success was still confirmed.
