This article reports a case that involved a challenge in multidisciplinary decision making. A patient presented with severe periodontal disease and the need for prosthetic rehabilitation for purposes of tooth replacement and the stabilization of periodontally compromised teeth. The initial diagnosis revealed that the treatment regimen would require periodontic, endodontic, and orthodontic treatment, as well as dental implants. This case report demonstrates teamwork and a sequential approach to a complex case in a postgraduate clinical setting.
