A case report of improving mastication disorder by selecting an abutment tooth and an abutment device using a treatment denture

Abstract

Patient: A 60-year-old woman visited our hospital complaining of movement and pain in the maxillary right molar region during mastication. Masticatory dysfunction was diagnosed due to abutment tooth movement due to severe periodontal disease and denture instability caused by protruding teeth. While performing basic periodontal treatment, the abutment teeth and abutment device were selected using the treatment denture, and a telescopic crown was delivered as the final dental prostheses.

Discussion: By using the treatment denture, the morphology and function of the prosthetic device were verified, and based on that information, the final denture led to good results.

Conclusion: By using the treatment denture, the selection of abutment teeth and abutment device was verified, and good results for the final prosthesis were obtained.
