Full mouth rehabilitation cases are one of the most difficult cases to manage in dental practice. It is because such cases involve not only replacement of the lost tooth structure but also restoring the lost vertical dimensions. Full mouth reconstruction is basically a set of procedures that are aimed at correcting an improper bite position as well as restoring chipped or worn-out teeth. Improper jaw position is implicated in various neuro-muscular disorders. Correcting the jaw position not only restores proper function but also helps in enhancing the cosmetic appearance of the patient. Full mouth fixed rehabilitation is one of the greatest challenges in prosthodontics. Apprehensions involved in the reconstruction of debilitated dentitions are heightened by widely divergent views concerning the appropriate procedures for successful treatment. In this era, all-ceramic restorations are becoming popular; however, long-term follow-up of patients with complete rehabilitations using all-ceramic restorations are not yet available. In patients with parafunctional habits, metal-ceramic restorations seem to be a predictable treatment.
