Abstract
As is generally known, oral rehabilitation based on the idea of gnathology has the denturus as an object. Therefore, the health condition of a patient's teeth and periodontum has an immense effct on treatment and prognosis. Initial treatments should be done without mistake in minor tooth movement, periodontic treatment, or endodontic treatment. Although oral hygiene has spread remarkably recently, thorough pervasion still seems distant.
The author shall report on a case in which the patient needed endodontic treatment for 15 teeth. Some of the teeth had been replaced with prostheses, though not on the basis of a comprehensive plan of treatment but as the necessity arose. Therefore, the occlusal plane of the patient had been lacking in continuity. Many unfavorable conditions existed; for example, regular sittings were almost impossible for the patient. However, after four years of mutual reliance and patience, the difficulties that had lain ahead were overcome. Some may evaluate the treatment of this case as behind the times.
