Prosthodontic rehabilitation of a patient with partial anodontia: a clinical report.
This clinical report describes the prosthodontic rehabilitation of a 22-year-old female patient diagnosed with partial anodontia. A combined dental therapy approach was used and included endodontic therapy and a post-and-core buildup on the mandibular left canine, fabrication of a mandibular removable denture, and fabrication of maxillary fixed restorations. Canine-protected occlusion was developed in the final restorations to decrease lateral forces on the posterior dentition. Protrusive guidance was evenly distributed across the maxillary and mandibular incisors. Functional and esthetic results were achieved.
