Abstract: Severe worn dentition is a common dental disease characterized by the erosion of tooth surfaces. For patients with severe tooth wear, occlusal reconstruction is an effective treatment method. With the rapid development of digital technology, digital occlusal reconstruction has become a research focus in biomedical engineering. It plays a crucial role in oral scanning and analysis, crown restoration design and manufacturing, occlusal analysis, and treatment planning. Digital methods not only improve the accuracy of disease diagnosis and reduce misdiagnosis rates but also provide more personalized treatment options for patients. However, the practical application of digital methods still faces technical, ethical, and legal challenges. Therefore, this review aims to provide researchers with a comprehensive understanding and reference framework for applying digital methods in cases of severe tooth wear rehabilitation.

Key words: tooth wear, computer-aided design, occlusal reconstruction, artificial intelligence, digital technology
