Full Mouth Rehabilitation with Group Function Occlusal scheme in a patient with severe Dental Fluorosis

Full mouth rehabilitation continues to be the biggest challenge to any clinician in Restorative dentistry. It requires efficient diagnosis and elaborate treatment planning to develop ordered occlusal contacts and harmonious articulation in order to optimize stomathognathic function, health and esthetics which then translates to patient's comfort and satisfaction. Thorough knowledge of the various concepts of articulation is therefore integral to any full mouth rehabilitation that is taken up to address the patient's problem related to restoration of multiple teeth that are either decayed, worn, broken, discolored, missing or suffer developmental deficits. This case report describes the Full mouth rehabilitation of a 22 year old girl who reported with multiple decayed and discolored fluorosed teeth with proclined anteriors. The case was treated with individual Porcelain fused to metal crowns and a bridge with Group function occlusal scheme using Simultaneous full arch technique which is although exacting, exhaustive and demanding provides for a structured stable and predictable articulation. Several techniques of Full mouth rehabilitations are available and a clinician should ascribe to one after a comprehensive diagnosis of the patient's clinical condition and prospective consideration of his/her oral health, function, comfort and esthetic requirements.
