Abstract
Patient: A 23-year-old female patient visited our department with the chief complaints of poor appearance and masticatory disturbance as a result of congenitally missing secondary teeth. There were several gaps due to loss of the premolar and left second molar on the maxilla, and the second premolar and right second incisor on the mandible. Therefore, prosthetic therapy using a removable partial denture of a metal plate was performed.
Discussion: Favorable results were obtained. The patient was satisfied with the treatments for esthetic and masticatory function during the period of up to 17 years after the final restoration.
Conclusion: A favorable long-term course was obtained as a result of the treatment for esthetic and masticatory disturbance by using a removable partial denture of a metal plate. Furthermore, her intraoral health has been maintained by periodical intraoral inspection and repairs three times to replace the artificial teeth.
