Abstract:
Inter-dental arch discrepancy between maxilla and mandible could cause three dimensional occlusal problems, and collapse of occlusal plane, multiple teeth loss and decrease of masticatory efficiency could be observed in patient having unstable occlusal contact. Patient showing posterior bite collapse, unstable occlusal contact and improper anterior guidance should be treated to recover stable centric occlusion, occlusal contact, and anterior guidance in conjunction between prosthodontics and orthodontic treatment. This clinical report describes the favorable results of orthodontic and prosthodontics rehabilitation of patient with above mentioned problems.
