Modified Dahl&s Appliance: A Clinical Report

Abstract

Dahl in 1975 gave a concept describing the management of tooth surface loss (TSL). Dahl's concept can be successfully and safely applied to a variety of clinical situations. This clinical report describes the treatment of a partially edentulous patient with generalized TSL. A simplified form of Dahl's appliance was used to create inter-occlusal space, to facilitate a cost-effective treatment and meet the functional and psychological needs of the patient. Thereby the treatment described has simplified the management of historically complex problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
