Multidisciplinary Approach in Full Mouth Rehabilitation – From Ruins to Riches in Oral Health

Abstract

Management of patients with a badly mutilated dentition is a complex situation for treating and a challenge to dentist's skills. The mutilated dentition due to caries, tilted, drifted and rotated teeth results in a compromised appearance, alteration in phonetics and difficulty in mastication. This article presents a multidisciplinary approach in rehabilitating mutilated dentition with ceramo polymer crowns (Ceramage), flexible partial denture and fiber splinting of natural pontic along with porcelain fused to metal work; to provide an ordered pattern of occlusal contact and articulation to optimize oral function.
