Abstract

Patient: A 34-year-old female visited our clinic with the chief complaint of difficulty of mastication and esthetic disturbance. She had an underbite due to crowded maxillary dentition and multiple missing teeth in the posterior region. Prior to prosthetic treatment, hopeless teeth were extracted. Implant and orthodontic treatment were performed.

Discussion: It is considered that functional pressure was appropriately distributed by providing an appropriate anterior guidance, and mastication and esthetics remain good.

Conclusion: In the present case, the occlusion was restored by an implant prosthesis and orthodontic treatment for a patient with occlusal collapse, and good results were obtained.
