Case report demonstrates effective full-mouth rehabilitation by addressing occlusal dysfunction.
While it is common practice in dentistry to treat individual teeth only as problems arise, recurrent failures may result if causation is not addressed. This case report details a comprehensive approach to the full-mouth rehabilitation of a patient who was dissatisfied with decades of restorative failures following reactive single-tooth treatment. A thorough review of the patient's medical and dental history along with a detailed clinical examination revealed an unstable bite, which had been contributing to the cause of her worn and fractured restorations. A systematic, sequenced restorative approach that addressed the patient's underlying occlusal dysfunction and enabled financial affordability was taken to achieve a long-lasting, predictable result.
