Abstract:
Conventional removable partial dentures (RPDs) with distal extensions are associated with some problems, including lack of stability that calls for frequent relining, and cantilever actions of claps that can produce excessive loading to abutment teeth, and the need for unesthetic retentive arm clasps. Therefore, IARPDs (Implant-assisted RPD) that use implants to support or retain RPDs has been reported to improve stability, esthetics and masticatory performance of RPDs. Also, an IARPD that has zirconia occlusal table can prevent the incongruity of occlusal plane and the extrusion of antagonistic tooth. In this case of partially edentulous patient with crossed occlusion, each edentulous area was restored with implant fixed prosthesis and implant retained partial denture to suit each situation. Through the procedure, satisfactory outcomes were achieved both in functional and esthetic aspects.
