A Comprehensive Review of
Oral
Rehabilitation
Approaches in Stomatology:
From Diagnosis to Prosthetic
Restoration

Background: Oral rehabilitation in stomatology involves the restoration of function, esthetics, and oral health through a combination of diagnostic, therapeutic, and prosthetic interventions. Recent advancements in prosthodontics and digital dentistry have substantially transformed contemporary rehabilitation strategies. Objective: To provide a comprehensive overview of current oral rehabilitation approaches, from diagnosis and risk assessment to prosthetic restoration, including emerging digital technologies and longterm clinical outcomes. Methods: A narrative synthesis of contemporary literature was undertaken, incorporating evidence from systematic reviews, clinical studies, and consensus reports related to diagnostic protocols, treatment planning, prosthetic modalities, and digital innovations in oral rehabilitation. Results: Effective oral rehabilitation requires an integrated, multidisciplinary approach that combines accurate diagnosis, individualized treatment planning, and appropriate selection of prosthetic modalities. Tooth-supported, removable, and implant-supported prostheses remain fundamental treatment options, each with distinct indications and limitations. The adoption of digital technologies, including intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM systems, and guided implant surgery, has enhanced precision, efficiency, and reproducibility. However, biological and mechanical complications continue to influence long-term outcomes, necessitating structured maintenance protocols. Patient-reported outcomes, particularly quality of life and satisfaction, are increasingly recognized as essential indicators of treatment success. Conclusion: Contemporary oral rehabilitation is defined by the integration of evidence-based clinical practice and advanced digital technologies. A patient-centered, multidisciplinary approach is essential for achieving predictable and sustainable outcomes, while ongoing technological innovations are expected to further refine future rehabilitation strategies. 1. Introduction Oral rehabilitation is a major part of modern stomatology, and it aims at restoring oral function, esthetics, and structure in individuals whose dentition and other associated oral diseases are partially or completely lost. It is an interdisciplinary and holistic field that conducts diagnostic assessment, treatment planning, and artificial replacement of oral health to facilitate the best oral health outcomes. In addition to restoring lost teeth, oral rehabilitation is a holistic maneuver that involves both biological, biomechanical and patient centered determinants to guarantee long term success and stability ¹. The impact of oral functional impairment is a serious health issue of the whole world and the leading factors are edentulism, partial loss of teeth, ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
