Obtaining an accurate assessment of the causes of severe dental destruction is crucial when planning a clinical workflow for full-mouth rehabilitation cases. Some cases that initially appear extremely challenging may be surprisingly straightforward, especially if the patient presents with an acceptable functional occlusion. In the seemingly highly complex case presented, only a Lucia jig was required to obtain a reliable restorative reference point for the full-mouth rehabilitation. Increasing the vertical dimension of occlusion allowed for predictable restoration of function and esthetics. The treatment was completed in phases for patient comfort, and the final outcome provided the patient with regained confidence in his smile and comfort when eating.

Prosthetic rehabilitation in multifaceted dental abnormality needs sequential planning to ensure adaptation of oral and associated musculature. Reduction of tooth structure before adaptation of oral and associated components may complicate the treatment modality if compliance of the musculature is poor. Hence, the fabrication of over-provisional in esthetic rehabilitation enables to assess of the success of the treatment plan preoperatively before invasive trials.

Objectives: This double-blind randomised crossover trial aimed to compare the aesthetic outcomes of CAD-CAM manufactured provisional restorations created using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scanners (IOS) acquisition methods.
Methods: Twelve participants (mean-age: 38 ± 5 years) requiring full mouth rehabilitation were included in this crossover trial. Two sets of identical CAD-CAM provisional restorations, differing only in the method of data acquisition (A: CBCT, B: IOS), were fabricated.

Conventional complete denture wearers often complain of lack of stability and overall discomfort with their prostheses. The advent of dental implants and advanced prosthetic methods have greatly improved this struggle for edentulous patients. The utilisation of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology has only further enhanced the capabilities of dental practitioners to rapidly and accurately restore edentulism.

Although Angle's Class II division 2-associated deep anterior overbite is common in orthodontic treatment, simple prosthodontic treatment with great improvement of deep anterior overbite and worn dentition is infrequently reported. A 51-year-old man with Class II Division 2 malocclusion presented with hypo-divergent facial pattern, reduced lower facial height, and protuberant lips.

Odontomas are the most prevalent odontogenic tumors, often classified as hamartomas due to their slow growth and non-aggressive nature. Typically asymptomatic, they can obstruct the eruption of adjacent teeth. While the exact causes of odontomas remain unclear, potential factors include local trauma, infection, growth pressure, and hereditary influences.
