Patient: A 71-year-old female presented with the chief complaint of esthetics problems and masticatory disturbance. She was referred to the department of prosthodontics to have full mouth reconstruction after delivering an immediate denture for 71|12567 at the division of comprehensive clinical dentistry. Occlusal support was found only on the left premolars. The interocclusal space was reduced on the anterior and the occlusal vertical dimension was also reduced anatomically. Full mouth reconstruction was performed by increasing the vertical dimension to improve her chief complaints.
Discussion: The occlusal support was restored, and masticatory function was improved by a final restoration that increased the vertical dimension based on a mandibular rest position. Moreover, esthetics were improved due to the design using an attachment.
Conclusion: Full mouth reconstruction achieved both functional and esthetic satisfaction for the patient, thus improving her quality of life.
