Atypical pattern of occlusal wear in anterosuperior tooth, hypertonicity of the masticatory muscles, periapical abscess in the llth tooth, cross-bite at the level of the 43rd tooth, and absence of various posterior, superior and inferior teeth, were among the clinical and radiological signs found. The conduct followed was the pulporadicular treatment of the llth tooth, further reconstruction of its crown with photopolymerizable resin and prosthetic rehabilitation.
