Abstract
- In patients with multiple missing molars, wear patterns or displacement of anterior teeth, collapsed occlusal plane, and reduction in vertical dimension may occur. Particularly, in case of a few remaining teeth on one side, a removable partial denture has biomechanical disadvantage. For this reason, an implant-assisted removable partial denture with a few implant surveyed crowns can be an alternative. In this case, due to the right mandibular posterior teeth loss, the anterior teeth were severely worn and the occlusal plane was collapsed. With minimal increasing vertical dimension, oral rehabilitation was performed using a maxillary fixed prosthesis and mandibular implant-assisted removable partial denture. As a result, functional and aesthetic clinical outcomes were obtained.
