Summary
Accurate assessment of severe dental destruction is key for full-mouth rehabilitation. A simple Lucia jig and increased vertical dimension of occlusion successfully restored function and aesthetics in a complex case.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Restorative Dentistry
- Prosthodontics
Background:
- Severe dental destruction necessitates careful treatment planning for full-mouth rehabilitation.
- Patient's functional occlusion can simplify seemingly complex restorative cases.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a simplified approach to full-mouth rehabilitation for severe dental destruction.
- To highlight the utility of a Lucia jig and vertical dimension increase in complex cases.
Main Methods:
- Utilized a Lucia jig to establish a restorative reference point.
- Increased the vertical dimension of occlusion.
- Phased treatment approach for patient comfort.
Main Results:
- Achieved predictable restoration of function and aesthetics.
- Successfully managed a complex full-mouth rehabilitation case.
- Patient regained confidence in smile and comfortable eating.
Conclusions:
- Accurate assessment and appropriate tools like the Lucia jig simplify complex full-mouth rehabilitations.
- Increasing vertical dimension of occlusion is effective for restoring function and aesthetics.
- Phased treatment enhances patient comfort and satisfaction.

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

2.6K
A nursing diagnosis is written when the nurse recognizes a cluster of essential patient data indicating health problems treated with independent nursing interventions. The standardized terminologies of a nursing diagnosis help nurses identify and treat patients' problems. Every electronic health record that uses nursing diagnosis must employ standard diagnostic terminology. Developing an efficient, individualized care plan begins with accurate nursing diagnoses.

The nurse documents nursing diagnoses and enters them into the patient record. The identified patient's nursing diagnosis is either written out with a plan of care or entered into the electronic health record.
In some settings, data-driven computerized decision support systems are in place, allowing for more accurate nursing diagnoses. The database within one of these systems includes diagnostic labels defining characteristics, activities, and indicators for nursing. A nurse enters...

Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.
