Precision and esthetics in full mouth rehabilitation: A clinical case report
Full mouth rehabilitation requires a balance between function, comfort, and esthetics, particularly in partially edentulous patients. Removable partial dentures (RPDs) remain a viable treatment modality when fixed prostheses are not feasible due to anatomical or financial limitations. Traditional clasp-retained RPDs, although effective, may compromise esthetics due to visible metal components. This clinical case report presents the rehabilitation of a 65-year-old patient with an ill-fitting prosthesis using a cast partial denture retained with precision attachments. These attachments provide superior esthetics and retention compared to conventional clasps, significantly enhancing patient satisfaction. The use of extra-coronal precision attachments demonstrated improved functionality, stability, and esthetics, offering a more acceptable solution for full mouth rehabilitation. The case underlines the importance of incorporating precision systems in prosthodontic treatment planning to meet both functional and cosmetic demands of patients.
