Abstract
Patient: A 54-year-old female patient had a odontogenic maxillary protrusion with moderate chronic periodontitis. Her chief complaint was the esthetic problem of maxillary anterior teeth. A bite plate with orthodontic elastic bands was used for tipping maxillary anterior teeth. After orthodontic treatment, an adhesive splint was applied to mandibular teeth as a transitional treatment. During transitional period, temporomandibular joints and esthetic conditions were observed to make sure of no side effects of the occlusal reconstruction and the result of the orthodontic treatment. Then the final prosthodontic treatments were delivered on mandibular posterior and maxillary anterior teeth.
Discussion: The esthetic prosthodontic treatment made fine outcome and the patient was satisfied with the functional and esthetic results. The maintenance were continued for 4 years, and the conditions were stable.
Conclusion: The fixed prostodontic treatment including orthodontic and periodontic treatments could satisfy the functional and esthetic expectations of this patient sufficiently.
