| | Abstract | This article describes the fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation of a 53-year-old male patient with multicentric osteolysis. Before treatment, the patient exhibited signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorder and had recurrent tension-type headaches and pain in the neck and shoulder area. One of his chief complaints was frequent fracture of restorations. After extensive occlusal rehabilitation, occurrence of headache and pain ceased, and other signs and symptoms of TMD diminished. The long-term prognosis depends on the stage of the genetic disorder, which cannot be determined. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Case Reports
