Area of Science:

  • Restorative Dentistry
  • Dental Materials Science

Background:

  • Patients with a history of drug addiction may present with significant oral health issues.
  • Restoring a severely compromised dentition requires careful treatment planning and material selection.

Observation:

  • A patient with a history of drug addiction presented with a dismal oral situation.
  • Treatment involved root canal therapy, surgical pretreatment, and prosthetic rehabilitation.

Findings:

  • Four maxillary glass-fiber reinforced composite fixed partial dentures using endo-crowns were fabricated.
  • Additional restorations included composite onlays and full crowns on dental implants.
  • Adhesive luting with a multi-component system and ultrasonic technique ensured durable restorations.
