Abstract
In clinical dentistry, it is necessary to treat the stomatognathic system as a functional unit rather than treating one tooth as a unit, and to perform examinations, diagnoses, and formulate treatment plans. A trend toward comprehensive treatment that began in the early 1900s has been established, and many long-term prognostic outcomes have been observed clinically. However, the quality of the treatment results also depends on the operator’s experience. Therefore, we thought to use digital equipment to incorporate patient-specific objective criteria into comprehensive treatment.
Purpose: We aimed to treat a 38-year-old woman who came to our hospital with a chief complaint of mastication disorder due to detachment of the lower left bridge using digital equipment based on objective criteria.
Conclusions: It was suggested that the use of digital equipment could lead to more accurate and comprehensive treatment.
