Abstract:
Implant supported removable partial denture (ISRPD) using the implants enables favorable rehabilitation by complementing biomechanical limitations of the conventional removable partial denture (RPD). However, continuous recall check is necessary for evaluation of the mechanical and biological complications to ensure good long-term prognosis of ISRPD. This clinical report describes the complication and management in patient of Kennedy class I edentulism with ISRPD using healing abutment. The wear and fracture of healing abutment occurred at 36 months after delivery. So, healing abutment was replaced by connecting Locator® abutment for altering into the implant retained partial overdenture.
