Patient: The patient was a 65-year-old female who complained of masticatory disturbance due to pain and gingival enlargement around the maxillary right implants and left posterior tooth. After arranging the treatment plan with diagnostic waxing, treatment with a porcelain fused to metal bridge and removable partial denture with radicular attachment was performed.
Discussion: The patient has remained satisfied without significant problem in the periodontal tissue and prosthesis during 5 years, however, attrition of artificial teeth was observed.
Conclusion: Denture design using a stud attachment avoided the use of clasps in the esthetic area and increased the patient’s satisfaction, resulting in a successful prosthodontic treatment outcome with high quality of life.
