Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is a genetic disorder affecting the structural integrity of the dentin that can result in weakened dentin. The affected teeth, especially posterior teeth, often need to be extracted due to severe wear or fracture. This frequently yields a loss of posterior occlusion and occlusal vertical dimension. Besides wear and fracture, anterior teeth often have an unesthetic appearance because of discoloration. Current treatments of choice, including composite bonding restorations and, more recently, all-ceramic restorations, are typically suggested to preserve the remaining teeth and tooth structure. However, there are a limited number of studies on dental implants in patients with DI. The effectiveness of dentin bonding and dental implants in patients with DI is not known. This clinical report describes a 32-year-old Asian woman with DI who underwent full-mouth rehabilitation. The posterior occlusion, mostly in the molar areas, was restored with dental implants and ceramometal restorations. The anterior teeth and premolars were restored with bonded lithium disilicate glass-ceramic pressed veneers and crowns made with computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing. This case demonstrates that restoring functional occlusion and esthetics for a patient with DI can be completed successfully using contemporary implant therapy and adhesive dentistry.

Abstract This article describes the dental implant-based rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient with a unilateral maxillary dento-alveolar defect. A screw-retained prosthesis with a modified design was fabricated on zygomatic and regular dental implants. One section of the implant prosthesis has cemented crowns and the other section is conventional screw-retained. The design of the prosthesis overcame the hard and soft tissue deficit and provided the desired esthetics.

Abstract Aim This clinical report describes the occlusal rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient with lost vertical dimension. Background The patient did not want a removable partial denture. Implants, fixed restorations with occlusal plane correction, were used to restore the anterior and posterior support and treat the severely worn dentition. However, a partially edentulous patient may be unable to recover normal function, esthetics, comfort, or phonetics with a conventional removable dental prosthesis. The use of dental implants–supported fixed prosthesis offers a multitude of benefits over a tooth–soft tissue supported removable partial denture prosthesis. Summary This clinical report describes an organized approach to an occlusal reconstruction of a severely worn dentition, partially edentulous patient with fixed restorations, implants, occlusal plane correction, and recovery of the vertical dimension. The treatment offered the patient improved esthetics and the restoration of oral function. Clinical Significance The main indications for implant-supported restorations in a partially edentulous patient are the elimination of the freeend distal extension and the benefit from fixed restorations. Success with implant-supported prosthodontics needs the same or more attention to detail and careful treatment planning for conventional fixed prosthodontics; a team approach is recommended.

ABSTRACT Restoring the edentulous patient with an esthetic and functional restoration may present numerous challenges to the clinician. The patient's occlusal vertical dimension, centric relation, esthetics and phonetics need to be determined and maintained throughout the restorative process. This clinical report describes the fabrication of implant supported fixed prosthesis in the mandibular posterior region, a tooth supported fixed prosthesis in the mandibular anterior region and a tooth supported maxillary overdenture with a low profile attachment. A step by step approach to provide an esthetic result is described. How to cite this article Jagtap AK, Chaudhari PD, Bhandari JA. A Pragmatic Approach to Full Mouth Rehabilitation.
