Rehabilitation of an edentulous patient using combined fixed and removable prosthodontic treatment. Case report.

Abstract

Edentulism, the complete loss of teeth, significantly impacts oral function, aesthetics, and quality of life. Proper rehabilitation of edentulous patients requires a comprehensive approach that addresses both functional and aesthetic concerns. This case report presents the successful rehabilitation of an edentulous patient using a combination of fixed and removable prosthodontic treatment modalities. The treatment plan incorporated dental implants, fixed implant-supported prostheses, and removable overdentures to restore masticatory function, speech clarity, and facial aesthetics. The multidisciplinary approach resulted in significant improvements in the patient's oral health and overall well-being.
