Abstract

Patient: In addition to crown and bridge detachments, a patient suffered from masticatory dysfunction and discomfort resulting from poor-fitting dentures. Masticatory dysfunction was resolved by the use of provisional dentures and re-adjustment of existing dentures. Treatment was initiated from the mandible where changes before and after the treatment were less significant. After confirming a good fit for the lower denture, treatment of the maxilla was started. Crowns with hard resin facings were fabricated, and the connectors and retainers for the partial denture were re-designed to eliminate the cause of discomfort.<BR>Discussion: Efforts centered on attaining optimal retainers and connectors that would relieve the patient's discomfort. We implemented a step-by-step treatment plan while continually monitoring the patient's satisfaction, which contributed to the success of the treatment.<BR>Conclusion: Partial dentures have some design allowance to accommodate requirements specific to each individual patient. Optimally designed partial dentures was proven to deliver high patient satisfaction.
