A case report: A removable partial denture for a patient with missing maxillary anterior teeth

Abstract

Patient: The patient was a 61-year-old female with the chief complaint of maxillary anterior teeth mobility and concern over losing them. After extraction of the maxillary central incisors, an immediate denture was delivered to the patient. After periodontal treatment including surgical procedures, we started to make a maxillary removable partial denture.

Discussion: The cast reinforcement embedded in the denture base and the artificial teeth made the partial denture rigid. As a result, denture fracture was prevented, and because of periodical periodontal maintenance, no maxillary anterior teeth were lost.

Conclusion: A good prognosis was obtained with a maxillary removable partial denture with reinforcement for a patient with missing maxillary anterior teeth.
