[Case report of a patient with bounded missing, treated with removable partial denture]
1Department of Fixed Prosthodontics, School of Dentistry, Iwate Medial University. ksakashi@iwate-med.ac.jp
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.
