Résumé
When making conventional removable partial denture for the remaining teeth where the remaining teeth are only on one side, rotation of the denture occurs -in function- on the axis of the connected remaining teeth. If the edentulous portion is long, it becomes harder to obtain retention and stability for the abutment as the importance of the mucous membrane support is elevated. Such movements of denture decrease denture retention and stability, put excessive stress on the abutment, and give bad influence on periodontal health. Therefore, additional implant placement can be of a good choice in gaining additional retention and stability for partial denture. Thus hereby we report this clinical case as successful results were obtained by placing implants symmetrical to the remaining teeth and putting implant-supported surveyed crowns on the implants, allowing the partial denture to be designed to accept varying components and to have suitable path of insertion.

It is very hard for edentulous patients to satisfy retention and stability with their complete denture. Especially, for patients with systemic diseases such as Parkinson's disease causing involuntary and limited movements, fabricating complete dentures may be challenging to both dentists and patients due to functional limitations. To overcome this problem, overdentures can be used through conserving retained roots. In this case, a 45-year-old male patient had to extract numerous teeth due to dental caries, and at the time of visit he was taking drugs for diabetes and Parkinson's disease for a period of long time. A complete denture was applied to maxilla, and for mandible, an overdenture on two preserved retained roots was applied where its retention and stability were obtained by magnetic attachments. This case reports that overdenture with retained roots improved overall functional limitations.

The retention of complete dentures in patients with Parkinson's disease is often poor due to their constant dislodgement by involuntary movements of the tongue and lips. Furthermore, insertion of the overdenture is expected to be difficult due to their limited voluntary movements. This case is about the bimaxillary overdenture restoration where its retention and stability are improved, using magnetic attachment of remained roots of maxilla and two implant Locator(R) attachments of mandible in patients with Parkinson's disease. This report describes the fabrication of this functionally improved prosthesis.
