Abstract
Depression in young female subjects is mostly associated with marital issues. Treatment in such cases is a mild antipsychotic drug which it has its adverse effects on the human body. An anterior maxillary tooth that has undergone gross decay reflects negligence whose underlying cause can be either pathological or physiological. We present a case of a young female patient known to be suffering from chronic depression and presently taking medication (carbamazepine) with a chief complaint of missing maxillary lateral incisors. A custom made cast post core was given in relation to maxillary left central incisor as part of a foundation restoration for the overlying fixed partial denture. Two individual fixed partial dentures were fabricated to restore the kennedy class 3 modification 1 partial edentulous spaces. A consistent, persistent, patient education and motivation program were used to ensure overcoming the ill effects of chronic depression and the side effects of xerostomia.
Keywords: xerostomia, carbamazepine, fixed partial denture, porcelain, endodontic.
