Abstract

Motor control alteration of jaw movement after major prosthetic work is a common problem in the field of dental prosthodontics. More teeth are missing in the oral cavity, more complicated is the clinical situation and more requirements are needed for the treatment plan and prosthetic appliances, removable are they or fixed, to achieve stability and satisfaction. In some cases, it could be difficult to achieve acceptable final results following traditional treatment modalities and a deviation from the norms is necessary. This paper discusses a clinical case of removable overdenture adapted with slight modification from the traditional concepts in edentulous patient.
