The second part of this paper discusses strategies for providing restorative dental care for the parafunctional patient. These include direct composite resin restorations, cast metal resin-retained restorations and dentine-bonded crowns, design features for porcelain fused to metal crowns and denture design. Specific features can help enhance predictability in the hostile environment of increased occlusal loading and parafunction. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Appropriate planning, design and execution of restorative procedures can reduce the chance of failure. Patients may have to accept a compromise between appearance and restoration survival/maintenance.
