Abstract
Full mouth reconstruction, full mouth rehabilitation and full mouth restoration are terms often used interchangeably to describe the process of rebuilding or simultaneously restoring all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. Full mouth rehabilitation creates smile that is not only esthetic but also functionally comfortable. A systematic and organized approach is essential in order to evaluate, diagnose, and resolve esthetic and functional problems predictably in a complex restorative case. This clinical report discusses the oral rehabilitation of a 25-year-old man with multiple carious teeth and missing upper and lower back region teeth. The aim of this treatment was to restore esthetics and masticatory function which further improved and strengthened the self- esteem of the patient.
