Abstract

Patient: A 60-year-old female presented with a chief complaint of difficulty chewing and discomfort with her dentures. The maxilla underwent bone grafting, followed by implant placement, and was restored using a full-arch implant-supported fixed prosthesis. The mandible was restored using a fixed bridge and a removable partial denture.

Discussion: Incorporating the morphology of the adjusted provisional restoration into the final superstructure in the maxilla contributed to a favorable outcome. In the mandible, maximizing the use of remaining teeth for denture stability also played a role in achieving good results.

Conclusion: The maxillary full-arch implant bridge and the mandibular fixed bridge combined with a removable partial denture resulted in a favorable prognosis.
