Full mouth rehabilitation of a patient by replacing maxillary arch with fixed prosthesis opposing cast partial denture in mandibular arch: A case report

Abstract

The objective of full mouth rehabilitation is to restore teeth in physiological and functional harmony. Comprehensive treatment planning of multiple missing teeth is challenging, especially in cases of reduced vertical dimension (VD) of occlusion. This case report describes the sequential methodical interdisciplinary approach employed to treat multiple missing teeth with a loss of VD. An interim prosthesis was delivered to newly established restorative vertical dimension. After the validation of new VD, reconstruction was performed with fixed prosthesis in maxillary arch and cast partial denture in mandibular arch. With proper diagnosis and treatment planning dentist can provide functional harmony and esthetic comfort to the patient, thereby improving patient's quality of life.
