Full mouth rehabilitation—A case study

Abstract

Full mouth rehabilitation is a complex and multidisciplinary treatment approach aimed at restoring oral health, function, and esthetics in patients with extensive dental problems. In the present case, a 70- year-old female patient presented with multiple missing teeth and reduced vertical dimension of occlusion and wanted to resolve all her dental problems. After thorough clinical examination involving assessment of the dentition, periodontium, and temporomandibular joint, an individualized treatment plan was formed. The teeth with poor prognosis were extracted followed by correction of vertical dimension of occlusion using a night guard. The missing teeth were replaced with fixed partial dentures and the other teeth which required full coverage crowns were provided with crowns. The patient was satisfied with the results achieved and is presently attending follow-up appointments following the procedure. This article explains the process of full mouth rehabilitation of this patient in detail.
