Abstract
Patient: The patient was a 43-year-old female whose chief complaint was masticatory disturbance at meals. The patient had a rotated tooth of |3 and a medial inclination of 6|, making it difficult to correctly set the retainer of the partial denture. After limited orthodontic correction of the rotated tooth, new full dentures on the maxilla and partial dentures with an occlusal rest of the onlay type on the mandible were set, which resulted in recovery of appropriate occlusion and improvement of masticatory efficiency.
Discussion: It was suggested that the orthodontic treatment of irregular abutment teeth and partial denture with an occlusal rest of the onlay type induced stability of the denture, and masticatory efficiency was improved.
Conclusion: The final denture with adequate occlusal plane after orthodontic treatment helped to enhance the aesthetic outcome and improved the oral function.
