Gastro esophageal reflux disease(GERD) is a chronic digestive disease caused by backwash (reflux) of stomach acid or contents into the esophagus or the oral cavity. Erosion of the teeth and subsequent wear is a common manifestation of GERD. This clinical report describes the dental rehabilitation of eroded maxillary and mandibular teeth along with other dental complaints in a 45-year-old female GERD patient. Full mouth rehabilitation of natural teeth together with metal-ceramic fixed partial dentures was selected as a treatment modality. Ideal occlusion, optimum esthetics, maintainable oral hygiene were all ensured for a favorable prognosis.
