Abstract:
The crossed occlusion is unstable, and for the treatment of such occlusal conditions, it is recommended to form a balance of occlusal force between the arch in contact with occlusal contact, to secure stable vertical support by symmetrically placing the implants in the posterior area, and it is necessary to improve the distorted occlusal plane, to have a regular check-up and to check whether the occlusal conditions are maintained stably after treatment. In this case, in order to resolve unstable occlusal condition in patient with crossed occlusion, the existing occlusal vertical dimension was maintained at the state of wearing the dentures, and the implant placement positions were planned based on the diagnostic waxup, and then the implants were placed using a surgical guides, and after the temporary prostheses stage, the final fixed prostheses were fabricated by incorporating the temporary prostheses form adapted by the patient to develop a stable vertical support, and finally the anterior maxillary region was restored with implant-supported removable partial denture. In this case, the patient adapted well without discomfort during the four-month follow-up and satisfactory aesthetic and functional clinical results were obtained, leading to this report.
