Full Mouth Reconstruction with Lukasz Lassmann and Riaz Yar - PDP283

Full mouth reconstruction — is the aim really the flawless before-and-after you scroll past on Instagram, or is that a trap? How do you actually know you’re ready to step up from single teeth to a whole mouth? And when your comprehensive treatment plan keeps getting declined — psychologically, financially — is that the patient’s problem, or yours? This one is a “your questions answered” episode: the community sent in far more FMR questions than we could cover, and we put the best of them to two prosthodontists who literally wrote the book on it. This is a full-mouth reconstruction deep dive with Prof Riaz Yar (https://www.instagram.com/riaz_yar_sp...) and Dr Łukasz Lassmann (https://www.instagram.com/lassmann_ed...) — co-authors of the new Quintessence textbook Full-Mouth Reconstruction (foreword by Jeffrey Okeson). We cover screening before you commit, knowing when you’re ready, getting big plans accepted, choosing materials, setting the bite in centric relation, sleep apnea, and the honest truth about “perfect” versus “acceptable.” Protrusive Dental Pearl: Always Present the Best Advice When you present a complex case, offer three tiers. Best advice — take time and money out of the equation and describe the ideal: what would truly get this patient to the right result (gum grafting, orthodontics, the lot).
