Abstract
To date, implant treatment has been suggested to be an effective treatment and the first choice for the restoration of missing teeth. In this case, the patient has lost vertical stop for years due to missing molars; in order to prevent further occlusal collapse, we chose implant treatment for the patient. The full-mouth comprehensive treatment seems to be the best solution. However, due to some personal reasons; and also, the occlusion relationship of remaining teeth was still acceptable, we decided to place implants only in molar area. By means of implant treatment, remaining teeth were protected and the vertical stop was rebuilt, which may significantly improve the quality of life (QOL) of the patient.
