This clinician's report addressed the crucial consideration of occlusion functionality in aesthetic and oral rehabilitation treatments, highlighting the need to restore the lost vertical dimension. The objective of the study was to evaluate the relevance of recovering the occlusal vertical dimension in aesthetic and rehabilitative treatments, and to determine the viability of composite resin restorations combined with the stamping technique as a restorative option. A comprehensive approach supported by accurate diagnosis and the application of a functional and aesthetic wax-up was proposed. The study focused on the use of posterior composite resin restorations with the stamping technique as a viable restorative alternative. The development and reliability of composite resins and their adhesive systems were highlighted, highlighting their key characteristics. The results obtained demonstrated notable longevity in the restorations, supporting a conservative approach that replicates anatomical details with precision using transparent silicone matrices. Additionally, the benefits of this technique in terms of time and cost efficiency were explored. In summary, this clinical case highlights the importance of implementing an appropriate treatment plan supported by solid clinical evidence. The use of posterior composite resin restorations with the stamping technique to raise the vertical dimension is revealed not only as an effective alternative in aesthetic terms, but also as a long-term sustainable option
