Abstract

The face, which is the part of the body that is most exposed, has the mouth as a prominent feature. The allure of the teeth draws all eyes. Some patients with collapsed bites were required to have all of their teeth extracted and replaced with traditional complete dentures because rehabilitation techniques' efficacy was questioned in the 20th century. The occlusal surfaces of a patient's teeth will gradually deteriorate over the course of their lifetime. But excessive occlusal wear can result in pulpal injury, occlusal discord, functional impairment, and aesthetic deformity. Thanks to improvements in dental technology, equipment, and materials over the last millennium, the task of restoring and rehabilitating the damaged dentition has gotten simpler. This has given restorative dentists the ability to maintain teeth and associated structures. Establishing optimal oral health should be the main objective of all rehabilitation procedures because maintaining oral health and safeguarding the stomatognathic system will always be the end goal. The report's case study serves as an illustration of Hobos' full mouth rehabilitation technique.
