ABSTRACT

Full mouth rehabilitation is a very challenging and comprehensive treatment protocol for most clinicians. It requires intensive understanding of the concepts and fine skills, to execute and establish successful clinical outcomes. Often surgical interventions are necessary to provide these desired results which may include bone grafting, guided tissue regeneration, sinus lift (transcrestal approach or lateral window approach), especially diabetes which can be really challenging for a clinician in terms of anticipation of the surgical outcome especially for patients with diabetes mellitus. The decision however has always been like walking on thin ice for these kinds of scenarios. Diabetes in general has never been an absolute contraindication for implant placement or any surgical intervention. Nevertheless, it is a challenging question whether to proceed or defer from such treatment protocol. This case report describes a successful implant supported fixed full mouth rehabilitation using a two stage protocol involving various surgical procedures, in a completely edentulous diabetic patient. This case report also aims to focus on emphasising the need for clinicians to pursue such a treatment and thereby motivate them to provide the best treatment option so as to maintain their dental health effectively.
