Combining fixed and removable restorations with linear occlusion to treat combination syndrome: a clinical report.
Proper treatment sequencing is critical when a patient requires multiple fixed restorations in conjunction with a removable partial and complete denture. The vertical dimension, centric relation, and horizontal occlusal plane must be determined first, followed by a diagnostic wax-up that incorporates linear occlusal concepts to prevent anterior hyperfunction. A more predictable treatment outcome is possible when individual components are defined clearly.
