Full Mouth Rehabilitation Maintaining the Existing Vertical Dimension- A Novel Case Report
Keywords:
full mouth rehabilitation, vertical dimension, precision attachments, temporomandibular joint, occlusionAbstract
Patients requiring full mouth rehabilitation usually present with completely worn out dentition or with developmental defects of enamel, dentin or both. These cases require establishing original vertical dimension as the patients present to us with vertical dimension collapse. But in some special scenarios of extremely mutilated dentition with caries and missing tooth requiring a full mouth rehabilitation, where at least one posterior tooth acts as a vertical stop for maintaining vertical dimension, entire rehabilitation can be done preserving the patient’s original vertical dimension of occlusion till the end of the rehabilitation procedure. This case report presents such a clinical situation of a patient with multiple caries and missing tooth who was rehabilitated by preserving patient’s original vertical dimension without any increase or decrease of the same. Also this case report describes the nuances and critical techniques which are to be followed sequentially when we attempt to preserve vertical dimension
