Patient: A 52-year-old female patient visited the hospital in October 2010 with a chief complaint of difficulty in chewing. She was diagnosed with masticatory disorders due to missing bilateral mandibular molars. She wore a splint-type treatment denture for the purpose of dentition recovery and occlusal elevation of the molar defect, and no functional problems were observed. Prosthetic treatment was planned and performed with reconstructions using dental implants and fixed dental prostheses.
Discussion: Due to the treatment plan considering the age, hope for treatment, and living conditions, improvement of masticatory function and esthetics was obtained, and the patient has been highly satisfied.
Conclusion: In this patient with missing mandibular molars due to deep overbite and a lack of prosthetic space, occlusal reconstruction was performed using an implant prosthesis and crown prosthesis, which improved the patient’s satisfaction.
