title: A multidisciplinary approach to full mouth rehabilitation and solving the dilemma of wriggling dentures- a case report.
abstract: A successful management of full mouth rehabilitation demands a multi-disciplinary approach for its long lasting success. The present case report is intended to give an insight into the use of multiple treatment modalities to achieve a balanced, efficient and biomechanically successful prosthodontic treatment with acceptable aesthetics. Treatment of a maxillary and mandibular bilateral distal free end edentulous arch along with upper and lower anterior teeth requires plenty of contemporary and conventional prosthodontic treatment modalities. Management of distal extension situation provides complexity of biomechanical problems due to the three dimensional movements of the distal extension denture. A distal most implant can convert a distal extension RPD from a tooth and tissue supported prosthesis to a tooth and implant supported prosthesis which provides a definite stop thus enhancing the retention and stability of the prosthesis, eliminating the problems often associated with a tooth and tissue supported distal extension RPD.
