Abstract

Dental fluorosis is characterized by the reduced mineralization of enamel due to the excessive intake of fluoride (over 1 ppm) during the formation of teeth. Advanced dental fluorosis results in the enamel showing signs of pitting or mottling, which heightens the risk of pollution, fractures, wear, and premature loss of teeth. This can negatively impact the stability of the bite and the overall function of chewing. Apart from impacting oral health, severe dental fluorosis can lead to psychological consequences resulting from the visible disfigurement and staining of affected teeth, along with compromised functionality. In numerous instances of severe dental fluorosis, complete mouth rehabilitation is not just a treatment but a crucial pre-emptive measure, aiming to restore functionality and prevent further deterioration.

This case study outlines the complete mouth rehabilitation of a 20-year-old female patient who presented with discoloured teeth and chipping of the upper layer along with multiple carious lesions. The rehabilitation procedure employed the Panky Mann Schyuler (PMS) technique.
