Dental fluorosis results from excess fluoride ingestion during tooth formation and is commonly seen in certain endemic areas. Its clinical manifestations may range from white opaque patches of enamel in mild cases to pitting and loss of enamel in severe cases. The treatment of fluorosis is important not only because of esthetic and functional concerns but also to help improve a patient's self-esteem; therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is often necessary. This article describes a multidisciplinary approach to complete-mouth rehabilitation of a patient affected with fluorosis. A confluence of the endodontic, periodontal, orthodontic, and prosthodontic disciplines resulted in improved esthetics and enhanced masticatory efficiency.

Article Synopsis
- - A 20-year-old woman with type I hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta experienced aesthetic issues and sensitivity, prompting a complete mouth rehabilitation using a fully digital workflow.
- - An interdisciplinary approach included a multigene panel analysis and digital scans to guide minimally invasive dental preparations, resulting in interim restorations made of high-performance polycarbonate and final restorations in translucent zirconia.
- - This efficient treatment plan not only addressed her dental concerns but also enhanced her understanding of her genetic condition, highlighting the importance of genetics in her treatment, with a strong follow-up plan to ensure long-term success.

In recent years, scientists have started evaluating the portion of PM-bound pollutants that may be liberated (bioaccessible fraction) in human fluids and spread through the digestive system ultimately entering systemic circulation (known as the bioavailable fraction). In the current research, an analytical procedure was validated and applied to characterize the oral bioavailable fraction of PM samples. The approach encompassed the determination of 49 organic contaminants.

Current restorative methods of restoring worn or eroded dentition present drawbacks that may deter dentists or patients from pursuing complete mouth rehabilitation. A novel additive manufacturing approach using 3D printed definitive composite resin restorations is described as a less technique-sensitive and more cost-effective alternative. These restorations are straightforward to repair, modify, or replace.

Objective: This article highlights a CAD/CAM complete-mouth rehabilitation in an 82-year-old patient by means of a complete maxillary prosthesis and mandibular implant- and tooth-supported fixed restorations made from multilayered zirconia.
Clinical Considerations: Comprehensive complete-mouth rehabilitations in elderly patients with adaptation of the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) often present particular challenges. This applies especially when exacting functional and esthetic requirements are to be met and the treatment should not cause the patient too much effort, still ensuring the highest level of quality and efficiency and a low intervention rate.

A systematic approach to treating complete mouth reconstructions is essential to achieve optimal treatment results, and current conventional methods do not always provide a fully controlled setting. The utilization of digital ecosystems allows for creating more predictable and efficient workflows in fixed prosthodontic reconstructions.
