Prosthetic treatment with correcting edentulous maxillomandibular relation

Abstract

If the maxillomandibular relationship is unstable or requires treatment for improved function and esthetics, the first treatment objective is to provide stable occlusal contacts. The patient has moderate mental retardation. Due to inadequate vertical overjet, horizontal arch malrelation and excessive tooth loss, full mouth rehabilitation was required. The purpose of treatment planning is to establish physiologic maxillomandibular relation. Using cephalometrics for occlusal analysis is an aid to make a decision. The amount of horizontal bone reduction was calculated with evaluating soft tissue profile. After provisional denture placement, healing of the surgical site and newly adapted arch relationship was evaluated. The patient satisfied with esthetics and showed stable holding contacts. Periodic examination is needed to exclude occlusal disharmony.
