Abstract
Patient: A 68-year-old male presented with the chief complaint of pain during chewing in the left molar region of his mandible where there was a partial denture. He underwent oral rehabilitation with a crown restoration and removal of the partial denture to treat disturbances in the occlusal plane in the case of non-vertical stop malocclusion.
Discussion: When both a crown prosthesis and a prosthesis for missing teeth are to be used, occlusal registration needs to be performed twice: once during crown restoration and again during denture fabrication. In such cases, denture and occlusal stability can be achieved by performing occlusal registration in the same occlusal position of the maxilla and mandible.
Conclusion: The combined use of a crown prosthesis and a prosthesis for missing teeth created for the oral cavity as a whole enabled oral rehabilitation that removed disturbances in the occlusal plane.
