ABSTRACT

Fall is the most common cause of trauma in the elderly and a major reason of dental injury. Maxillary anterior region is the most vulnerable area to the traumatic fall. Loss of teeth and adjacent tissue in this area results in maxillofacial defects and inappropriate maxillomandibular relationship. Reconstruction of the loss requires comprehensive and careful planning to fulfill not only functional but also esthetic demand. Prosthetic approach can avoid surgically extensive intervention, reducing both treatment cost and time. This clinical report describes a 78-year-old woman with the loss of teeth and alveolar bone in maxillary anterior region due to a traumatic fall, rehabilitated with a metal-ceramic fixed dental prosthesis using gingival porcelain.
