Abstract

A method for fabricating provisional restorations with specific criteria has been outlined and offers the following advantages: Altered occlusion can be restored. Select steps can be delegated to auxiliary personnel. Commercial laboratory fees are eliminated. It is inexpensive. The restorations are durable and esthetic. Restorations are readily modified intraorally. This flexible procedure is used for short or long spans, and/or for segmented treatment. Casts of acceptable anterior provisional restorations can provide a template for developing anterior guidance in the final restorations.

[Case report of a patient with bounded missing, treated with removable partial denture].

PATIENT: The patient was a 60-year-old male with the chief complaint of loosening of the bridge on the upper right side. The diagnoses of the patient were detachment of the bridge (7 6 5 4 3 2 1 | 1) and root fracture (5|). A cobalt chromium plate with Mini-SG attachment was used at 4 3 2| to fix the bridge. The course of the patient was uneventful five years after the treatment. DISCUSSION: Judging from the condition of the detached bridge, the same type of fixed bridge was considered too weak to withstand the lateral force. Stabilization of the functional occlusion was achieved by using the attachment, followed by good clinical results. CONCLUSION: The patient was satisfied with the comfort of the removable partial denture with attachment, and good functional results were obtained.
