A case report of functional recovery using Konus Krone dentures for a patient with severe periodontal disease

Abstract

Patient: The patient was a 70-year-old male who came to our hospital complaining of chewing difficulty due to teeth movement. Resorption of alveolar bone in the whole jaw and movements of multiple teeth caused by severe chronic periodontitis, mismatches and secondary caries of crown margins were observed. After periodontal treatment using treatment dentures and judging the predictability of the remaining teeth, the upper jaw was fitted with a complete titanium-based denture, the lower jaw was fitted with a Konus Krone denture, and the occlusion was reconstructed.

Discussion: Due to the secondary splinting effect and easy cleaning of the Konus Krone denture, the remaining teeth maintain good periodontal tissue condition.

Conclusion: A stable prognosis with improved mastication was achieved with the complete denture and the Konus Krone denture after periodontal treatment.
