Patient: A 44-year-old man, who suffered from hemophilia A and had multiple hopeless teeth, visited our clinic to have dentures made. A full mouth provisional restoration and its modification after teeth extraction was used to first maintain the occlusal vertical dimension and then raise it. The finally obtained occlusion was transferred to the fixed and removable partial dentures, resulting in functional and esthetic recovery.
Discussion: The well-planned provisional restoration and timing of tooth extractions could prevent hemophilia A from causing systemic trouble. Although multiple tooth extractions reduced occlusal support, the provisional occlusal modification attained an optimal level of occlusal vertical dimension functionally and anterior tooth morphology esthetically.
Conclusion: Subjective satisfaction in terms of masticatory function and esthetics increased after treatment. Well-planned teeth extraction and careful adjustment of the provisional prostheses might have contributed to this outcome.
