title: Removable partial denture assisted by implant-retained fixed prosthesis opposing implant-retained overdenture.
abstract: Restoring an edentulous mouth is a challenge when the patient has both high esthetic expectations and financial limitations. This case report describes the prosthodontic management of an elderly edentulous patient with a maxillary anterior implant-supported fixed partial denture in conjunction with a distal extension-base removable partial denture opposing a mandibular implant-retained overdenture. The patient's clinical outcome after 30 months is presented.
