Description
Summary:	A 26-year-old male patient presented with generalised gingival recession related to the margins of crowns fitted between the ages of 12 and 15 years. The patient, previously treated for Amelogenesis Imperfecta, suffered a mandibular fracture at the age of 22 years. He had an anterior open bite and in the retruded contact position the 28 and 38 were the only teeth in contact. This case demonstrates the management of compromised fixed prosthodontic care following further growth and trauma. On completion of treatment a good functional and aesthetic result was achieved.
