Patient: A 36-year-old female visited our hospital complaining of poor esthetics and difficulty in chewing. The patient had dental phobia and had been treated with only first aid. She was diagnosed with poor esthetics and masticatory disorder due to caries and loss of occlusal support in the molars, therefore, it was decided to treat with a fixed bridge in the upper jaw and a removable partial denture in the lower jaw.
Discussion: Because orthodontic extrusion was performed on the canine teeth involved in the lateral guide, primary fixation was applied to distribute the force during the lateral guide. Face-bow transfer, gothic arch tracing method, lateral check bite-taking, and adjustment of the condylar path of the articulator were performed, resulting in good reproducibility of mandibular movement on the articulator.
Conclusion: Full-mouth prosthodontic treatment improved the patient’s quality of life and resulted in long-term success.
