Abstract

Severely worn out dentition needs to be given definite attention as it not only affects aesthetics and can cause psychological distress to the affected individual. The basic goal of rehabilitative dentistry is to increase the life span of the functioning dentition, just as the goal of medicine is to increase the life span of the functioning individual. Management of patients with a badly mutilated dentition is a complex situation and a challenge to dentist’s skills. The mutilated dentition due to grossly decayed, tilted, drifted and rotated teeth results in an unaesthetic appearance, alteration in phonetics and difficulty in mastication. This article presents a multidisciplinary approach in rehabilitating mutilated dentition with multiple crowns, fixed partial dentures and a removable partial denture with ceka attachments to enhance retention and stability.
