A hinged two-part partial denture used in conjunction with severely tilted teeth: a case report
The European Journal of Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry
|August 20, 2014
Summary
A hinged two-part sectional denture effectively restored a severe mandibular defect. This approach overcomes challenges posed by significant undercuts, improving prosthesis fit.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Prosthodontics
- Dental Materials
Background:
- Conventional dentures face challenges with severe hard tissue undercuts.
- Mandibular Kennedy Class IV edentulous areas present unique prosthetic difficulties.
Observation:
- A case report details a hinged two-part sectional denture for a patient with severe proximal and lingual undercuts.
- Severe undercuts compromised the feasibility of a conventional prosthesis.
Findings:
- The sectional denture successfully restored the mandibular Kennedy Class IV edentulous area.
- The hinged design facilitated adaptation to the complex tissue undercuts.
Implications:
- Sectional dentures offer a viable solution for complex prosthetic cases.
- This technique enhances treatment options for patients with significant anatomical challenges.
