Summary
Full mouth rehabilitation is achieving balance between esthetics and function and henceis a challenging procedure. This may get difficult if the restorative space required is limited as in the case of a mutilated dentition. Efforts should be made for meticulous treatment planning with a multidisciplinary approach for successful outcomes. The most critical aspect in successful full mouth rehabilitation is a combination of stable occlusion and orthopedically stable temporomandibular joints. Occlusal surface wear of the teeth in an individual is a gradual process during the lifetime. It leads to loss of vertical dimension in an individual with functional and esthetic discomfort in everday life. The prosthetic treatment should be performed with extreme care to achieve a good prognosis for the patient.[1]
