A Prosthetic Treatment for an Eichner C2 Patient with Skeletal Mandibular Prognathism

Abstract

Patient: A 54-year-old woman presented with a chief complaint of disorder of articulation caused by lingual–inclined mandibular anterior teeth, poor retention of complete denture in the maxilla, and esthetic problems. Her ailment had been diagnosed as skeletal mandibular prognathism before she presented. The position of the mandibular anterior teeth were set up accordingto esthetic and phonetic aspects, followed by setups of the positions of anterior maxillary teeth and occlusal plane. Porcelain-fused-to-metal fixed partial dentures were fabricated in the anterior and posterior areas in the mandible.
Discussion: This case required sufficient exploration, well-considered treatment planning and procedures with a treatment denture, and provisional restorations to enable rehabilitation from the complicated functional and esthetic problems.
Conclusion: According to the considered treatment planning, both the functions and theesthetics could be rehabilitated in an Eicher C2 patient with skeletal mandibular prognathism.
