What is Full Mouth Rehabilitation (FMR)
Full Mouth Rehabilitation deals with the science of treating a mutilated dental situation that involves treatment of many or all teeth and helps them function in harmony with the surrounding muscles and the TM joint.
The fine balance of Science
The teeth in human body work in a very fine balance with the surrounding Gums, Muscles and the TM joint. The ravages of time, age and diseases, combined with the stress of modern days can lead to breakdown of one or more of these elements in our systems. Loss of natural teeth, failure to replace missing teeth or progressive tooth wear sometimes created by consumption of acidic cola based drinks or due to gastric reflux disorders create a complex problem in dental management. This leads to a poor unesthetic smile and may be further complicated by frequent headaches and TM Joint pain.
