Implant-assisted removable partial denture restoration in patient with a few remaining teeth in mandible using implant-supported crown: a case report

Implant-assisted removable partial denture restoration in patient with a few remaining teeth in mandible using implant-supported crown: a case report Implant-supported fixed prostheses and conventional removable partial dentures are standard treatment options for partially edentulous patients with only a few remaining teeth.While implant-supported fixed prostheses provide excellent mastication efficiency and patient satisfaction, they require multiple implant placements, posing both surgical and financial burdens.In cases where only a few teeth remain, fabricating a distal extension removable partial denture results in limited support from the remaining teeth, increasing the load on the surrounding tissues.This compromises the stability of the denture and reduces the longevity of the abutment teeth.Recently, implant-assisted removable partial dentures (IARPDs) have emerged as a viable treatment option, offering additional retention and support through strategically placed implants.This case report presents the fabrication of an IARPD using implant crowns for a partially edentulous mandible with only a few remaining teeth after multiple extractions.The treatment achieved satisfactory outcomes in terms of aesthetics, function, and cost-effectiveness for both the patient and the clinician.(
