Patient:
A 70-year-old male patient visited our clinic with the chief complaint of masticatory dysfunction due to ill-fitting upper and lower partial dentures. Serious periodontal disease was observed around the remaining teeth. The occlusal condition was crossbite due to mandibular protrusion, and the occlusal supporting area was classified as Eichner's B-3. A Konus telescopic denture was selected as a prosthesis.
Discussion:
Dealing with the increase in occlusal force, the sagittal and lateral imbalances found using the Dental Prescale Occluzer system allowed us to minimize the damage to the prosthesis and effects on abutment teeth and periodontal tissue.
Conclusion:
It is vital to identify and remove early pathological factors of force in postoperative management to prevent the occurrence of new occlusal collapse in the reconstructed stomatognathic system.
