Abstract
Patient: The patient was a 45-year-old female who complained of the discomfort of a removable maxillary partial denture. To solve her chief complaint, an implant-supported fixed partial denture was selected for her maxillary partial edentulousness.
Discussion: The chief complaint was improved by replacing the removable partial denture with the implant prosthesis. The results of a questionnaire showed that this patient was satisfied with the treatment for the maxillary partial edentulousness. During the recall period of 3 years and 6 months after the final restoration, progressive inflammation of the implant body or fracture of the superstructure body have not been found.
Conclusion: Implant prosthesis is useful for overcoming the discomfort of an unsatisfactory removable partial denture.
