We sometimes get lost in which way we should go, when we encounter a middle aged patient whose mouth is collapsed. Construction of complete dentures after extraction of teeth is relatively easy going.However, such a patient hesitates or rejects complete dentures. Then we must be able to restore not only function but also esthetics and emotional stability by applying comprehensive dentistry including attachment dentures and implants. In comprehensive dentistry, we must equip ourselves with high level of knowledge and technology.
In this clinical report, we tried to keep the boken-down teeth using endodontic endosseous pin implant after endodontic treatment, implanted ITI endosseous implants and constructed attachment dentures.
The patient became look younger and more active in her home and social life. Our comprehensive approach looks successful in appearance so far as 3 years postoperatively. However, we must keep eyes on the case from now on.
