Abstract:
In patients with newly established ideal occlusion through full-mouth rehabilitation using fixed prostheses, complications and occlusal changes over time can arise because of various factors. This case report describes a 10-year follow-up of a patient with masticatory dysfunction and aesthetic problems who underwent full-mouth rehabilitation with an increased vertical dimension.During the follow-up, complications such as tooth fracture, occlusal changes, infraocclusion of few implant-supported prostheses, and loss of interproximal contacts were observed. Detecting these issues early through periodic follow-up is important. This case report aims to review the causes of complications after full-mouth rehabilitation using fixed prostheses and the strategies for their management.
