Abstract

Restoration of a partially edentulous patient's mouth with complete esthetic and functional reconstruction may present numerous problems to the dental professional. The severe wear and collapse of anterior & posterior teeth results in the loss of normal occlusal plane and the reduction of the vertical dimension of occlusion. The major concerns include establishing centric relation, esthetics, phonetics and vertical dimension. Taking this into consideration this case report explains in detail the step-by-step procedure in treatment planning to completely rehabilitate a 43 year-old partially edentulous patient using a combination of fixed and removable prosthesis.
