ABSTRACT
Full mouth rehabilitation is a very challenging and comprehensive treatment protocol for most clinicians. In recent years a shifting trend towards digital workflow has been observed in dentistry, specially pertaining to prosthodontics and smile makeover. It requires intensive understanding of the concepts and fine skills, to execute and establish successful clinical outcomes. Various conditions of oral cavity may require full mouth rehabilitation. One such disorder is Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI), mainly for 2 purposes: esthetics and preserving the crown integrity. This disorder represents a group of developmental conditions of genetic origin that affect the structure and clinical appearance of enamel of all or nearly all the teeth in a more or less equal manner. AI is a condition that inadvertently reduces oral health-related quality of life and may cause physiological problems. This case report describes a combined digital and manual workflow to achieve a successful outcome in full mouth rehabilitation of a patient presented with Amelogenesis Imperfecta. It also highlights the completion of treatment procedures in a short span with minimal clinical appointments. Keywords: Amelogenesis Imperfecta, digital workflow, enamel hypoplasia, esthetics, full mouth rehabilitation, hypoplastic teeth
