Abstract
Patient: The patient was a 58-year-old male with the chief complaints of masticatory disorder and esthetic problems. The patient had tooth fractures and loss of posterior teeth that caused infraocclusion. The complaints were rehabilitated by a treatment denture with an increased vertical dimension. The final prostheses, having adequate occlusal vertical dimensions, were determined from the treatment denture.
Discussion: Maintenance has continued for three years and ten months, and the conditions have been stable. With focus on the vertical dimension, the use of a treatment denture to establish occlusal stabilization is recommended.
Conclusion: Infraocclusion caused by tooth fractures and loss of posterior teeth was improved by occlusal reconstruction with fixed and removable prostheses.
