Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Dental Implantology

Background:

  • Conventional removable partial dentures (RPDs) in Kennedy class I patients often result in progressive bone resorption and prosthesis instability due to mucosal resilience and rotational forces during mastication.
  • These limitations can compromise patient function, comfort, and long-term oral health.

Observation:

  • This case report details the oral rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient using a combined approach.
  • The treatment involved the integration of removable partial dentures with osseointegrated implants and precision-milled crowns.

Findings:

  • The proposed treatment modality successfully addressed the limitations of conventional RPDs.
  • The association of removable partial dentures with implants and milled crowns demonstrated improved functional stability and biomechanical support.
  • Excellent esthetic outcomes were achieved.

Implications:

  • This combined approach offers a viable and potentially cost-effective alternative for rehabilitating Kennedy class I patients.
  • It highlights the potential of combining removable prostheses with implant-supported restorations for enhanced oral rehabilitation.
  • Further research into long-term outcomes and patient satisfaction is warranted.
