A case report of masticatory and esthetic improvement with Konus Krone denture and fixed bridge

Abstract

Patient: The patient was a 73-year-old female who came to our hospital complaining of chewing difficulty due to mobility of the right lower central incisor. Inadequate fit of the denture, horizontal resorption of alveolar bone in the whole jaw, secondary caries of crown margins, crowding in the anterior teeth of the mandible, and disturbance of the occlusal plane were observed. After orthodontic treatment and correction of the occlusal plane using provisional restorations, the upper jaw was fitted with a Konus Krone denture and the lower jaw with a porcelain baked bridge, and the occlusion was reconstructed.

Discussion: The Konus Krone denture, with its strong secondary fixation effect, provided favorable denture retention and stability.

Conclusion: A stable prognosis with improved mastication and esthetics was achieved with the Konus Krone denture.
