Abstract

Confidence of a personality involves a very important component- ‘Smile’. Smiles can improve selfconfidence to many folds and spread a positive vibe for the individual and the surrounding. Loss in vertical dimension or mutilated dentition is often clinical findings that lead to loss of aesthetics to an extent and function to a greater extent. For such cases, usually a multidisciplinary approach may be required, often culminating with a prosthodontic treatment to restore the vertical dimension. Full mouth rehabilitation is an incredibly interdisciplinary treatment requiring understanding, expertise and proficiency in case planning. It demands extensive knowledge of the theories along with expertise in fine skills to achieve effective clinical results. In the era of rehabilitation, a rising trend in the implementation of dental implant supported rehabilitations is growing in fashion in dentistry, especially relevant to prosthetic management. Indications for full mouth rehabilitation are multinodal including aesthetic reasons, loss in vertical dimension, discolouration of teeth, non-carious wear of teeth and multiple missing teeth. One such indication is described in the case report of this research article. This case report describes a workflow for full mouth rehabilitation of a patient with severe mutilated dentition
