Abstract:
A patient with anterior apertognathia presented with an unserviceable maxillary removable partial denture. The unique pattern of partial edentulism was treated with a partial overdenture restoration of the bar attachment design. The final prosthesis was stable, well retained, and esthetic, serving as a conservative alternative to a surgical-orthognathic plan of treatment.
