Functional rehabilitation of edentulous mandible with cast removable partial denture: A Case report

Introduction: Rehabilitation with the use of overlay-type removable prostheses is indicated in cases of more severe occlusal dysfunction. This type of treatment meets the need for more immediate results, providing aesthetic improvement while the rehabilitation work is being done, while promoting the gradual rehabilitation of occlusal function, re-adjusting the intermaxillary relationship. In addition, the patient can anticipate the final result of the treatment beforethe definitive prosthesis is made. Objective: To show a clinical case of planning and execution of removable overlays. Case report: JCF patient had occlusal dysfunction and presented as main complaint the aesthetic and functional deficiency. He used a removable partial denture (PPR) only on the upper arch. The existing prosthesis did not present stability due to the loss of some dental elements, pillars of the PPR. Two overlays (upper and lower) were indicated because the patient had good periodontal conditions in the remaining dentalelements that were in a favorable position. Necessary exodontia, adequacy of the buccal environment with sub and supragingival scaling and the fabrication of overlays were performed. Conclusion: The use of temporary overlays can provide the necessary time for the patient to adapt to the new occlusal conformation in the period in which the restorations and definitive prostheses are expected to be performed. The use of overlays presented a satisfactoryresult for the proposed treatment, since it promoted the functional rehabilitation, restored aesthetic, even temporarily, and motivated the patient to continue the treatment. According to the patient, there were significant improvements in chewing quality and self-esteem.

Occlusal Vertical Dimension

Loss of occlusal vertical dimension is a frequently observed problem in the middle aged and aged population who intends to retain their natural dentition. This type of patient has very few treatment options one of which is overdenture. In this case report, a patient was treated with overlay removable partial denture for restoring the lost vertical dimension. This was provided as interim prosthesis. The follow up was done to observe the fulfillment of desired results. The clinical and laboratory procedure is described briefly. The treatment used for this case is cost effective and conservative solution for esthetic and functional rehabilitation. Since the material is acrylic resin, long term wear resistance is crucial for success of treatment. The rehabilitation would be fixed prosthesis with newly adjusted vertical dimension.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cdcj.v9i1.11835 City Dental College Journal Vol.9(1) 2012 28-31

The Aesthetic

The various treatment options for the aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients are conventional fixed partial dentures, implant supported fixed partial dentures and removable partial dentures. In some cases, removable partial dentures may be the only choice which is available other than implants and fixed partial denture. Removable cast partial dentures are used as definitive removable prostheses when indicated, but location of clasps is not aesthetically pleasant. So, when patient is concerned about aesthetics, flexible partial dentures which is aesthetically superior may be considered. But for the success of flexible removable partial denture, proper diagnosis, treatment planning, insertion, wearing and maintenance of this prosthesis is very important.
