In our work we examined the forms of pathological tooth wear. We analysed the methods for examining patients with generalised decompensated form of pathological tooth wear and modern methods of treating these patients. We considered the methods for restoring of interalveolar height and the features of orthopedic treatment with this disease. During the treatment of patients with the pathological tooth wear, the dentist takes into account also the gnathological aspects. The articular head movements should be considered to create the correct frontal introduction and as a result achieve harmonious occlusion. It is also important to ensure the constructions did not block the excursion movements of the mandible. The durability of the construction depends on the correct diagnosis and attentive attitude to the occlusion settings. The selection of suitable materials and the establishing correct treatment plan reduce the risks in the long term. New technologies and materials are emerging today, but the principles of the occlusion construction remain unchanged. Ultimately dentist's target is the long-term restoration of the occlusion aesthetics and function of patients with pathological tooth wear.
