Abstract

In removable partial denture with crossed occlusion, it is difficult to meet the satisfaction of patient due to variable movement of denture and unfavorable stability under loading. In a case with few unilaterally teeth remaining, additional treatments such as implantation or residual root are required to assure bilaterally stable support. However, due to the medical condition of the patient with hypertension, angina and old age etc., removable partial denture was planned as treatment in this case. Proper diagnosis, accurate analysis and full understanding of the adaptation for neuromuscular system are necessary to recover the vertical dimension of patient from a decreased vertical dimension due to crossed occlusion.
