Abstract

Patient: A 62-year-old man with chief complaints of pain and gingival swelling of the upper right central incisor, had been using a removable denture in the maxilla for several years. The patient wished to restore masticatory and esthetic function with a fixed prosthesis, therefore, a fixed implant-supported prosthesis with pink gingival porcelain, crown, and bridge was planned to restore function.

Discussion: The acquisition of occlusal support and esthetic improvement by the fixed prosthesis contributed to the improvement of oral health-related quality of life.

Conclusion: This case with a highly atrophic maxilla treated with a fixed implant-supported prosthesis including pink gingival porcelain showed an excellent result.
