ABSTRACT
People with class I intellectual disability need lifelong assistance and protection from their surroundings due to impaired adaptive functioning. They have poor oral health and show higher prevalence of dental caries, periapical inflammation and tooth loss that require proper prosthetic restoration. Because removable prostheses for intellectually disabled patients often lack stability, retention, and maintenance, fixed prostheses are essential and the only available option is dental implants. In this case, a 45 year-old male patient with class I intellectual disability had poor oral hygiene with most of his teeth missing and visited the clinic to recover his masticatory function. Due to such systemic conditions, the definitive restoration of choice was the implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis made of biocompatible and highly strong monolithic zirconia. In consequence of the treatment process, the patient was able to improve his oral environment aesthetically and functionally.
