Abstract
Patient: The patient was a 61-year-old woman with the complaint of dysmasesis by fracture of dentures. She had only one occlusal contact in the right canine region, and was diagnosed as infraocclusion by occlusal analysis. As previous treatments, bite raising and occlusal reconstruction had been done with treatment dentures. Guide planes were made on every remaining tooth to increase the grip force of the dentures, then the removable partial dentures were inserted.
Discussion: In this case, an appropriate occlusal vertical dimension was set by several measurement methods. By making guide planes on every remaining tooth, the grip force of the dentures was increased and an excellent result of treatment was achieved despite the non-vertical stop occlusion.
Conclusion: In the present case, an excellent result was achieved by bite raising and occlusal reconstruction followed by fabricating dentures with enough grip force.
