Full-mouth rehabilitation—laboratory procedures

Iva Yordanova

Abstract

To generate highly aesthetic results, as well as the most precise interaction between gums, bones, muscles, and teeth, full-mouth rehabilitation and complete arch reconstruction need the use of very specific lab protocols and techniques. Confirmation of tolerance to changes in the vertical dimension occlusion (VDO) is of paramount importance. A diagnostic wax-up and articulated study castings can give information for the assessment of treatment alternatives. The intermediate interval may be altered in accordance with the patient’s circumstances and ability for adaptation. This article aims at providing a literary review of the treatment planning of full-mouth rehabilitation that will assist clinicians in the therapeutic plan. Observing the final result before starting therapy is essential for long-term success. Full-mouth rehabilitation entails the performance of all the procedures necessary to produce an aesthetic, well-functioning and self-maintaining masticatory system.
