Esthetic and Occlusal Reconstruction with Porcelain-fused-to-Metal Bridges and Attachment Dentures: A Case Report

Abstract

Patient: A 63-year-old woman visited the clinic complaining of an esthetic disturbance involving the maxillary anterior teeth and a masticatory disturbance caused by distal extension missing in the left mandibular region. She was also dissatisfied with the conspicuous appearance of her denture clasp. Both chief complaints were resolved using fixed partial dentures and attachment dentures.

Discussion: Among various methods of prosthetic treatment for the mandibular molar region, dental prostheses that were specifically designed to resolve the patient’s chief complaints were successfully fabricated and delivered to the patient.

Conclusion: An esthetic disturbance involving the maxillary anterior teeth and an unstable intercuspal position were improved by fixed partial dentures prepared with porcelain-fused-to-metal and an attachment denture.
