Abstract
Patient: The patient was a 60-year-old male having a chief complaint of esthetic dissatisfaction with maxillary anterior teeth, and he consulted a physician of prosthodontics and orthodontics. We diagnosed the case as overclosure and maxillary protrusion of the dental alveolus character. We did prosthetic restoration by mandibular removable partial denture and maxillary connected crowns that used leveling, retraction of maxillary anterior teeth, and cast metal teeth. The passing of the patient was uneventful four years after treatment.
Discussion: In each orthodontics and prosthodontics alone, treatment had a limit, and Ithought that I had difficulty in improving chief complaint. Therefore it seemed that if an interdisciplinary approach was done, a clear treatment plan could be shown and an excellent result obtained.
Conclusion: We used an interdisciplinary approach by orthodontics and prosthodontics for esthetic dissatisfaction by maxillary protrusion, and excellent results for esthetics and function were obtained.
