Abstract
|
|
|
|
Implant-assisted removable partial dentures (IARPD) provide additional retention and stability by placing a small number of implants in the strategic positions. Since the two implants can be covered by National Health Insurance Services, the treatment modality using IARPD has been increased to restore partially edentulous patients with a few unilateral remaining teeth and improved the clinical effectiveness and patient satisfaction. The patient with two anterior unilateral remaining teeth showed a problem of frequent fracture of artificial teeth and denture base with maxillary Kennedy Class I RPD due to wear of mandibular anterior teeth and loss of occlusal vertical dimension. This case report suggested that the incorporation of a limited number of implants into IARPD could improve the function and patient satisfaction for the partially edentulous patients.
