I use the Dahl concept for its adaptability in creating inter-occlusal space, particularly in locally worn dentitions and for distributing the load across multiple teeth. It's ideal for managing local occlusal distortions, restoring endodontically treated teeth, and addressing wear in the lower front teeth. While versatile, it's important to note the limited scientific evidence for some of its applications, such as creating space for single teeth or correcting local occlusal distortions. For instance, it can be used when a tooth over-erupts due to loss of its opposing tooth, or for creating space for resin-bonded bridge retainers to preserve enamel. This conservative technique involves careful application and understanding its limitations and evidence base.
