Patient: A 57-year-old woman visited our clinic with the chief complaint of pain in the mandibular right canine. She experienced occlusal destruction (disintegration) with severe full-mouth periodontal disease. Centering on periodontal treatment, a new occlusal support was established using dental implants placed for dentitions with eccentrically-located residual teeth and the unstable mandibular position was properly positioned using the Gothic arch tracing method followed by fabrication of the final prosthesis.
Discussion: In the postoperative process, root caries were observed, but good dentitions were maintained by taking advantage of the removable prosthesis (telescopic system with auro galvano crown) during follow-up.
Conclusions: These results suggested that for dentitions with eccentrically-located residual teeth, a telescopic denture modified by placing a few dental implants would be an effective prosthesis method for maintenance and prognostic correspondence.
