Full edentation is a serious dental condition, because it perturbs all the functions of the stomatognathic system, having consequences on the entire organism. With the entire therapeutic arsenal dental medicine has at its disposal these days, the number of cases of full edentation remains high. Complex oral rehabilitation through the application of prosthetic pieces means regaining oro-dental health, the positive modification of the self image and self esteem, by means of the reintegration of these patients into social life. The main objective sought through the prosthetic rehabilitation by means of total prosthesis was improving the patients’ quality of life through reestablishing the deteriorated functions of the dento-maxilar apparatus and the restoration of the aesthetic.

Key words: fully edentulous, prosthetic rehabilitation, oro-dental health, quality of life.
