Abstract

Full-mouth rehabilitation, also known as full-mouth reconstruction or restoration, is the comprehensive process of restoring and rehabilitating the function, aesthetics, and health of all teeth in the upper and lower jaws. This involves a multidisciplinary approach, addressing issues such as occlusion (bite), tooth wear, tooth loss, and periodontal (gum) health to achieve optimal dental function and appearance. This treatment provides a stable and reliable solution for dental problems associated with the complete or partial loss of dental elements. This case report discusses the management of a 72-year-old male patient who came with a chief complaint of decayed, missing, and mobility of his teeth. His medical history included drug-regulated diabetes and chronic periodontitis, which remained a reason behind his deteriorating dental health. The treatment plan encompassed a comprehensive approach, starting with the full-mouth extraction and progressing to the placement of six implants in both the mandibular and maxillary arches for complete restoration. After allowing eight weeks for healing, the impressions for the implants were recorded with the polyvinyl siloxane material. The case demonstrates the application of the all-on-six concept; whereby full arch rehabilitation is possible with the strategic placement of six implants. By employing the latest in advanced computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), a zirconia prosthesis that was retained on a milled bar was fabricated-yielding a very high degree of accuracy and excellent aesthetics in the restoration. Restorations with zirconium were done, as it is excellent in aesthetics and functioning. This article considers the importance of precision planning, correct implant placement, and advances in dental science and technology. Most importantly, the conclusion that can be drawn is that the end outcome of total rehabilitation with all-on-six should not only be an affirmation that difficult cases can be managed very well but also the patient's quality of life is improved by using the latest dental procedures.
