Patient: The patient was a 68 year-old male with complaints of unpleasant feeling for the partial denture and wanted to improve the masticatory capacity. I planned to do implant rehabilitation to establish a positive occlusion. I established this implant rehabilitation with 7 implants for lower jaw, on the other hand we pulled some teeth out at the beginning of this treatment for upper jaw because it was poor prognosis, after that I treated it with 6 implants for upper jaw.
Discussion: In this case, implant rehabilitation was effective to get a comfortable masticatory function just like natural teeth.
Conclusion: We could establish a stable occlusion and more rigid support with this implant rehabilitation.
