Full mouth rehabilitation demands careful clinical and radiographic investigation and treatment planning. It becomes more challenging with the partial edentulism where bilateral segment is found missing. At the same time the severe worn and decay of anterior teeth facilitates the loss of anterior guidance and condylar guidance. And the loss of posterior teeth results in the loss of vertical dimension with collapsed bite and loss of normal occlusal plane. This results in the loss of esthetics, phonetics and function as well. This case report describes 55-year-old female, who had the loss of anterior guidance and condylar guidance due to severely worn out and decayed anterior tooth , along with the reduction of the vertical dimension with collapsed bite. Restoration of the severely worn out and decayed maxillary anterior tooth was done by multidisciplinary approach followed by restoring back the lost vertical dimension with cast partial denture prosthetic rehabilitation. This case reports that a satisfactory clinical result was achieved by restoring the vertical dimension with an improvement in esthetics and function.
