A 57-year-old male patient visited our dental office with complaints of difficulty in chewing and esthetic dissatisfaction. He had collapse of the anterior teeth with labial inclination of the incisors. This case report describes a reconstruction of the occlusal plane and occlusal supporting area by implantsupported and tooth-supported prostheses after periodontal and orthodontic treatment.
Discussion: Improvement of the tooth axis by orthodontic treatment was effective for biomechanical force and establishment of anterior guidance. The implant-supported and tooth-supported prostheses led long-term preservation of occlusion success.
Conclusion: The implant treatment was effective for reconstruction of the occlusal support area and an as anchor for orthodontic treatment.
