A Case Report of Prosthetic Treatment for Missing Teeth with Severe Periodontal Disease

Abstract

Patient: The patient was a 57-year-old female with the chief complaint being masticatory disturbance by tooth movement, with severe periodontal disease. Besides periodontal treatments, the establishment of an occlusal support and correction of an occlusal plane were provided using the mandibular partial denture.
Discussion: After wearing the final prosthesis, the patient had been developing a relatively stable condition as a result of continual maintenance of the mandibular partial denture and periodontal conditions of residual teeth every two or three months.
Conclusion: Residual teeth of the patient with severe periodontal disease were saved by establishing the occlusal support with partial denture and continuing the periodontal maintenance.
