A case report of improvement of a chewing disorder by fabrication of dentures after the extraction of many maxillary and mandibular teeth

Abstract

Patient: The patient was a 62-year-old woman with the chief complaint of tooth movement and pain during mastication due to severe marginal periodontitis. After tooth extraction, treatment dentures were used to examine the intermaxillary relationship, denture morphology and esthetics. A metal denture was fabricated as the final prosthesis.

Discussion: Four years have passed since wearing the dentures, and the patient reported that there was no pain wearing the dentures and that no dentures had broken. The patient’s satisfaction was high, suggesting that good results were obtained.

Conclusion: A lot of teeth were extracted for severe marginal periodontitis, followed by an examination of the intermaxillary relationship and esthetics using treatment dentures. It is thought that good results were obtained by reflecting this in the final prosthetic device.
