An Aesthetic and Economic Approach of Smile Designing for a Patient With Dentinogenesis Imperfecta: A Rare Case Entity.
Curēus 2024 Februrary
This is a case report presenting a female patient in her twenties suffering from severely stained, unaesthetic, and worn-out teeth since her childhood. It was a major aesthetic and functional concern for her. This clinical presentation describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with generalized discolored and worn-out teeth to have enhanced aesthetics and masticatory function of the patient. This is a referred case of dentinogenesis imperfecta- II (DGI-II) from the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology and Oral Pathology, as diagnosed by them after a thorough clinical, radiographical, and histopathological examination. DGI is a disorder of teeth characterized by discoloration and rapid wear and belongs to a group of disorders of the development of teeth. Due to the rapid wear and generalized intrinsically stained and discolored teeth, there is a loss of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) and an unesthetic look of the patient respectively. Therefore, the main objective of the case report is to re-establish the aesthetic and regain the VDO and functionality of the damaged teeth using the Pankey Mann Schuyler philosophy in which the first anterior teeth were rehabilitated with porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns based on aesthetics and phonetics of the patient. This was followed by posterior PFM crowns based on Broadrick's flag analysis for posterior occlusal plane determination and centric occlusion.
