Maxillary implant-supported fixed prosthesis engaged by distal-extension removable partial denture for 10 years: a case report
Abstract
A common prosthodontic treatment of an edentulous maxilla includes a conventional complete denture (CD) or an implant-supported overdenture (IOD). These treatment options are useful when the patient has excessive ridge resorption and unusual maxillomandibular relationship. However, these prostheses need to be removed from the mouth for recovery of the tissue and maintenance of oral health. Some patients may be compliant to these requirements because of discomfort with no teeth in their mouth, especially maxillary anterior teeth. The patient’s comfort and oral function can be restored by means of an implant-supported fixed complete denture (ISFCD). However, the ISFCD has limitation to patients who present with deficient bone quantity on posterior region and systemic condition excluding placement of multiple implants. Alternatively, the combination of fixed and removable prosthesis can be considered. The anterior segment can be restored with an implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis (ISFDP) and the posterior segment with of a conventional removable partial denture (RPD). However, there is a concern with regard to potential stress accumulation on the Case Report https://doi.org/10.14368/jdras.2020.36.2.121
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
