Abstract:
Patients who have a crossed occlusion with residual teeth frequently exhibit unstable occlusion due to collapsed vertical dimension and masticatory habits with remaining teeth. In a patient with unstable mandibular movements, establishing a stable mandibular movement is critical for ensuring the long-term stability of restorative treatment. In this case report, existing dentures of the patient with cross-arch unilateral occlusion were converted into treatment dentures with flat occlusion table for the stabilization of mandibular movements. Implants were inserted on the edentulous sites and fixed prostheses and implant-supported fixed prostheses were fabricated based on this position. The clinical outcomes were satisfactory in both functional performance and esthetic appearance
