Patient: This report is of a 55-year-old female with swelling around the bilateral submandibular and mental foramen regions. A functional disorder with severe periodontitis and implantitis in the maxilla and mandible was diagnosed. The remaining lower teeth and dental implant could not be saved and were removed. As per the prosthodontic treatment, the mandible was treated by an implant overdenture with fixed bar attachment. The patient did not want her maxillary region to be treated because she initially had a subjective symptom only in the mandible. However, mandibular treatment was followed by a complete denture for the maxilla.
Discussion: The patient had anxiety about esthetic and functional disorders due to treatment. A preferential approach for mandibular treatment was eliminated because of this anxiety. Subsequently, the patient’s maxillary region was treated.
Conclusion: The patient had a good prognosis with the mandibular implant-supported overdenture and maxillary complete denture.
