Abstract

Background:  Prosthodontic management of occlusal wear problems is a demanding task on the part of the prosthodontist. Various factors such as vertical dimension of occlusion, centric relation, occlusal contact pattern, esthetics and phonetics need to be considered simultaneously for both anterior and posterior teeth during occlusal rehabilitation. This may be further complicated by existing restorations, pulpal exposure, missing teeth and tooth sensitivity. Different philosophies have been documented for rehabilitation of such cases and the choice of the treatment plan depends on the skill and experience of the clinician. This clinical report describes the full mouth rehabilitation, in functional harmony with the stomatognathic system. Hobo’s Twin-stage procedure was adopted to produce a definite amount of disocclusion during eccentric movements using monolithic zirconia.

Keywords: Full mouth rehabilitation, monolithic zirconia, Hobo’s technique.
