A hybrid denture is fabricated over a metal framework that is retained by screws into the implants. The anterior part of a hybrid denture is fixed on implants and the posterior part of the denture is cantilevered. This case report presents the fabrication of a maxillary implant retained hybrid prosthesis. Four implants were placed in the maxillary arch. Framework was waxed, castable abutments were used, after-casting denture teeth were waxed to the hybrid framework, and a final try-in was done to verify and correct maxillomandibular relations before processing. The prosthesis was inserted after verifying fit of the framework.

The purpose of this article is to illustrate the fabrication process of presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) prosthesis. Growth of alveolar ridges, lips, and nose is initiated and directed by PNAM prosthesis at the presurgical time. Presurgical nasoalveolar molding helps reduce the future complications of lip and nasal surgery. Because of use of this appliance, there are minimum tension and minimum scar formation due to repair of soft tissue and cartilaginous deformity.
