Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Full mouth rehabilitation aims to restore function, aesthetics, and comfort for patients with compromised dentition. This case report presents the comprehensive treatment of a 54-year-old male patient with severe dental attrition and discoloration, which significantly affected his oral health and overall well-being. The patient reported generalized tooth wear, hypersensitivity, and dissatisfaction with the aesthetic appearance of his teeth. Clinical examination revealed a loss of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO), extensive dentin exposure, and occlusal instability. A phased multidisciplinary approach was implemented, including occlusal stabilization and definitive prosthetic restorations using all-ceramic crowns. Final occlusal adjustments were performed using T-Scan analysis to ensure optimal occlusal balance and function. Post-treatment, the patient exhibited significant improvements in masticatory function, aesthetics, and sensitivity relief, demonstrating the effectiveness of a well-structured rehabilitation plan. This case underscores the importance of personalized treatment strategies in managing severe dental wear and discoloration, enhancing both functionality and patient confidence.
