Abstract

Sickle cell anemia patients with dental anomalies represent a difficult challenge for the prosthetic dentist. Proper treatment planning with the medical and dental management of these patients are important prerequisites for successful results. This case report describes a full-mouth rehabilitation of a sickle cell anemia patient with worn-down dentition including the treatment planning, medical consultation, correction of vertical dimensions of occlusion, preparation, and restoration with porcelain fused to metal crowns.
