Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive treatment approach designed to restore both the functional and aesthetic aspects of compromised dentition. This process integrates multiple dental disciplines, including prosthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, and orthodontics, to address conditions such as severe tooth wear, malocclusion, missing teeth, and periodontal disease. This case report details the step-by-step planning and execution of full mouth rehabilitation for a 64-year-old man referred for the restoration of his worn and missing teeth. Following a diagnostic work-up, provisional removable prostheses were fabricated for both jaws and evaluated clinically. Adjustments were made based on esthetic, phonetic, and vertical dimension criteria. Subsequently, metal ceramic restorations and cast partial dentures for both jaws were fabricated. The outcomes highlight the critical role of a multidisciplinary approach in achieving successful results in complex dental cases.
