Full mouth rehabilitation in partially edentulous patient with an unstable mandibular position / 대한치과보철학회지

ABSTRACT

In the case of a patients who have lost the centric stop and have a staggered occlusion of the residual teeth, various movements occur when the denture is loaded.Implant placement is necessary to reinforce the retention, support, and stabilization elements to reduce denture movement. However, in this case, considering the patient’s age, aversion to surgery, and bone loss, implants were not placed and restoration was performed with a removable partial denture. In this case, it is important to set the correct mandibular position for restoration because the patient has a habit of chewing with the remaining teeth. In this case, a stable mandibular position was established using a gothic arch tracing, and good results were obtained by restoring with partial dentures, so this is reported.
