Abstract

The patient was a 69-year-old male who had decreased VDO and overbite of the anterior teeth due to severe teeth wear. Complete mouth rehabilitation was planned to restore esthetics and function. Due to the presence of a subgingival finish line, poor fit of the margin of the temporary crown, and insufficient oral hygiene management, gingival overgrowth and bleeding occurred in many teeth, and inaccurate impressions were taken. After dividing each arch and taking partial impressions, a transfer coping was made using pattern resin on each working model die, and after being placed on the abutment teeth, a master cast was made through pick-up impression taking to produce prosthesis. In this case, the final prosthesis produced on the second master cast were fitted in terms of proximal contact, marginal fit, vertical occlusal dimension, facial appearance, esthetics, and occlusion. After complete mouth rehabilitation, the patient was satisfied with function and esthetic appearance.
