Abstract:
Inspite of the antiepileptic therapy, both of our patients were suffering from grand mal seizures. They belong to class III according to our previously described clinical guideline from prosthetic treatment at epileptic patients. Since during these seizures, loading is great on the remaining teeth and on the denture, we tried to reduce it with all disposable appliances in prosthetic dentistry. In class III we suggest metal baseplate for the treatment of full edentulousness. In some of the cases of Fábián-Fejérdy class 2B, we approve great allowance in the interest of planning solely fixed denture. Otherwise we suggest combined, fixed and removable part with precisional attachment, rigidly, securely fixed together. In our two cases, we followed the mentioned guiding principles.
