Oral rehabilitation for masticatory dysfunction using implant overdenture and removable partial denture with milling technique: A case report

Abstract

Patient: The patient was a 58-year-old male with the chief complaint of masticatory dysfunction. The maxillary and mandibular regions were classified as full edentulism-like and Kennedy classification I, respectively, after extraction of hopeless teeth. A maxillary implant overdenture (IOD) and mandibular removable partial denture with the milling technique were provided as the final prostheses.

Discussion: Application of dental implants for the maxilla and use of a partial denture with the milling technique for the mandible might help alleviate severe conditions of the maxilla and establish posterior support for the mandible by minimizing denture mobility.

Conclusion: Application of a maxillary IOD and a mandibular removable partial denture with the milling technique resulted in successful clinical outcomes.
