A Case Report of Conical Crown-Retained Denture for Chronic Periodontitis Patient

Abstract

Patient: The patient was a 72-year-old woman with chronic periodontitis and tooth mobility. She refused to undergo surgery for tooth extraction. She already wore removable partial denture and several crowns and had dissatisfaction about aesthetics of her oral condition. Therefore we applied her conical crown-retained denture.
Discussion: The conical crown-retained denture had good prognosis for 8 years because this denture has a rigid support and a sprinting effect of remaining teeth.
Conclusion: It was recognized that conical crown-retained denture was effective as final prosthesis in a chronic periodontal patient with tooth mobility.
