 Cast Metal Occlusal Surface: A Case Report by Jieun Lee* in Modern Research in Dentistry_ Dentistry Open Access Journals

 

Abstract

A 69-year-old male patient reported to the UTHealth Prosthodontics with the chief complaint of decreased chewing efficiency and the instability with continuous use of his dentures. He was concerned with the functional efficiency of the dentures and not so much about esthetics. The patient was found to have a completely edentulous maxilla with a residual ridge morphology of minimal buccal vestibule and reduced hamular notch. The mandible had one root tip with a reduced residual bone height. The maxillomandibular relationship was Class III. Pt had a history of radiation in the head region with skin cancer of BCC, SCC, and Melanoma since 2008. Frequent attrition of the teeth may either be due to selfinduced excessive chewing. Treatment options offered

(1) denture or implant supported overdenture,

(2) denture or implant supported overdenture with metal occlusal surface, and

(3) implant supported fixed prosthesis
