Staged complete-mouth rehabilitation to accommodate a patient's financial constraints during the course of treatment is presented. Clear acrylic resin added to the anterior cameo surface of the maxillary fixed complete denture (FCD) served as a space maintainer. The restoration of the maxillary FCD addressed the patient's chief complaint. By adding the space maintainer, supraeruption of mandibular anterior teeth and encroachment of the prosthetic space, which could have resulted in additional treatment, was avoided. During the second stage of the complete-mouth rehabilitation, zirconia restorations were used to restore the mandibular arch to the maxillary FCD after straightforward removal of the space maintainer. This allowed a smooth transition after a delay in treatment without having to modify the previous treatment.

Patients who have received bariatric surgery have specific and complex dental needs. After surgery, nutrient deficiencies, osteoporosis, gastroesophageal reflux, and changes to the oral cavity may be seen, and erosion, caries, wear, xerostomia, hypersensitivity, and changes to the salivary buffering capacity may occur. In addition, patients are advised to ingest smaller, more frequent, meals throughout the day, and the oral condition may decline rapidly after surgery.

Mandibular condyle fracture malunion and tooth loss can cause functional and esthetic problems. A patient with restricted mouth opening associated with muscle atrophy required prosthetic rehabilitation. Since the remaining teeth had a poor prognosis and the patient had difficulty adapting to the interim denture, complete mouth rehabilitation with implants was chosen.

Electronic address:
Statement Of Problem: An accurate digital workflow for transferring the interocclusal relationship from complete arch diagnostic interim restorations to complete arch tooth preparations is essential in complete mouth rehabilitation. However, research on the accuracy of digital cross-mounting methods is lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the trueness of 4 sectional-cast digital cross-mounting methods in transferring the interocclusal relationship for complete mouth rehabilitation.
