Abstract

Patient: A 54-year-old woman was suffering from difficulty chewing due to the detachment of crowns and missing teeth. The missing teeth were treated with dental implants, and all-ceramic crowns were placed after endodontic treatment of the teeth where the crowns had become detached. Minor tooth movement was performed on the maxillary anterior teeth. Finally, teeth whitening was conducted to complete the treatment.

Discussion: The patient achieved improved functional and esthetic oral condition through various treatments. Occlusal support of the molars was increased with implants, the anterior canal relationship was improved through minor tooth movement, and prosthetic treatment with all-ceramic crowns was performed after teeth whitening.

Conclusion: In this case, an interdisciplinary approach involving collaboration among orthodontics, prosthodontics, and conservative dentistry led to a favorable outcome.
