Abstract:
Partially edentulous patients with a crossed occlusion have poor denture support, retention, and stability. Moreover, residual abutments showed a poor prognosis due to denture rotation. The use of a conical double crown removable partial denture to establish proper horizontal and vertical interocclusal relationships, it can establish a stable occlusal plane and occlusal contacts providing a sufficient restorative space and a favorable functional and aesthetic outcome. In this case, a patient with an anteriorposterior crossed occlusion with mandibular prognathism and no occluding teeth in habitual centric position was treated with a conical double crown removable partial denture. After diagnostic cast analysis and digital diagnosis, provisional prosthesis templates were fabricated. It was possible to intuitive and appropriate vertical dimension determination and esthetic evaluation were performed. Definitive prosthesis with proper function and aesthetics can be fabricated by the digital and conventional treatment process.
