Abstract
Patient: A 50-year-old female patient presented with a chief complaint of masticatory problems by maladaptation of maxillary removable partial denture (RPD). She had severe periodontitis and her RPD was not stable during mastication. Also, she seemed to have parafunction. Following prosthetic treatment with RPD using the milling technique, she was satisfied with the function and esthetics.
Discussion: At 3 years and 7 months after treatment, the prognosis is good except for extraction of the upper right central incisor. It is suggested that the supporting ability of the denture was reinforced by the design with the concept of a rigid support, making the RPD resistant to strong bite force.
Conclusion: Concerning this case of Eichner classification B3, the removable partial denture using the milling technique based on the concept of a rigid support resulted in a good prognosis.
