Abstract
|
|
|
|
For patients with a few remaining teeth, if an implant supported fixed partial denture is difficult due to the patient’s systemic or local conditions, or due to their economic situation, a removable partial denture may be considered as a treatment option. If a few teeth remain unilaterally to the midline, placement of the implant on the contralateral side and designing an implant-assisted removable partial denture (IARPD) may improve the retention and support of the removable partial denture and protect weak abutment teeth. In this case, a partially edentulous patient with a few remaining teeth located unilaterally on the mandible was treated using a maxillary distal extension removable partial denture and mandibular IARPD after implant placement on the mandibular edentulous area. We achieved an esthetically and functionally satisfying outcome.
