Abstract

This case report describes the full mouth rehabilitation of a young adult male patient diagnosed with hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta with mutilated dentition due to attrition of hypoplastic enamel. The aim of the treatment was to reduce dental hypersensitivity and to restore esthetics and masticatory function. These treatment objectives were successfully met by sequential fixed prosthetics treatment using a custom-made Broderick occlusal plane analyzer with a semi adjustable articulator which provides an easy and practical method to determine an occlusal plane that fulfill the esthetic and functional occlusion requirements. Final treatment included full mouth rehabilitation with metal-ceramic crowns using Pankey-Mann-Schuyler philosophy of complete occlusal rehabilitation which resulted in improved function, esthetics and self-confidence of the patient.
