Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Dental Materials

Background:

  • Unilateral partial dentures are indicated for single posterior tooth loss with stable abutments.
  • Patient preference against fixed partial dentures is a key consideration.
  • Removable prostheses require diligent cleaning after meals.

Observation:

  • A significant drawback is the lack of cross-arch stabilization.
  • A critical risk involves the potential for the prosthesis to be swallowed if dislodged.
  • This report details the clinical and laboratory treatment of such a case.

Findings:

  • The study evaluates the feasibility and challenges of using a unilateral partial denture.
  • It addresses the limitations concerning stability and patient safety.
