FOGORVOSI SZEMLE 115. évf. 1. sz. 2022. n 28 SOMOGYI A, HERMANN P, KIVOVICS P Full mouth rehabilitation, complete dental prosthesis fabricated for an acromegally patient in semi-adjustable articulator Case report Acromegaly is a severe systemic disease that is caused by increased growth hormone (GH) and IGF-1 production. Clini­cal manifestations of the disease include increased skeletal growth and soft tissue proliferation with metabolic, cardiovas­cular and respiratory comorbidities. Due to the slow change in the patients’ appearance, diagnosis can take decades. This case presents a full mouth rehabilitation for the patient with acromegaly. During the treatment, the implantation was contraindicated due to multiple systemic diseases; therefore, a conventional complete denture was made in a semi ad­justable articulator. Due to the extreme enlargement of the patient’s jaws, the treatment was a unique and an exciting professional experience. Keywords: acromegaly, complete denture, full mouth rehabilitation, semi adjustable articulator, facebow Case report
