Core Tip

Core tip: A novel technique of full occlusal rehabilitation is illustrated here. It is a simple procedure which adheres to all the principles of occlusal rehabilitation. Rehabilitation of dental fluorosis using the treatment protocol suggested here will systematize and streamline the clinical technique and it is hoped that this approach will benefit the patients and act as a guide for dentists. Although the technique described here is skill sensitive, it is the author’s belief that it is a new paradigm in full mouth occlusal rehabilitation.
