Key Clinical Message:
The article describes the treatment of a patient with a class III ridge relation who required a complete denture. An artificial dentition cross-arch configuration was used to treat the patient. The dentist should relate the biomechanical component to the anatomy.
Abstract:
Complete edentulism is not uncommon in day-to-day prosthodontic clinical practice. Retention and stability are critical factors in successfully treating a complete denture patient. A practitioner must always plan the treatment depending on various situations encountered in the patient's mouth. Maxillomandibular relation, which involves deviation from everyday situations, occurs with considerable frequency and is often quite challenging to the dentist in offering a suitable treatment. The importance of teeth arrangement and a stable occlusion in maintaining the stability of a denture is well-documented. This Article highlights a case with a class III jaw relation situation, which was managed successfully by a cross-arch arrangement of artificial teeth. A follow-up, along with an indication, is represented.
