Abstract:
Implant supported prostheses have improved the quality of lives of totally edentulous patients. However, there are some limitations on the number of implants related to the residual bone level or the economic concern and so on. In this situation, applying fixed detachable prosthesis with bilateral cantilevers can be considered. This clinical report describes implant supported prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with severe bone resorption. The patient was satisfied and felt comfortable with upper complete denture and lower fixed detachable prosthesis.
