Abstract:
Background: One of the most common inflammation disease in the oral cavity for the past few
years is the chronic form of periodontitis. Patients with chronic periodontitis, who her jobs
requires to interact with people are a real challenge for the dentist and the prosthetis. The
problem with the traditional method is the fact that for rehabilitation of patients who have lost
their tooth/teeth , has to be waited for approximately 8 to 12 weeks before having their dentures.
There are many advantages of immediate as opposed to conventional complete denture. Hence,
dentists have no opportunity to observe the anterior teeth at the try in appointment; therefore,
the esthetic result cannot be evaluated until the dentures are inserted. Purpose: The prosthetic
rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient with chronic periodontitis using immediate
maxillary full denture and immediate mandibular partial overdenture. Case and Case
management: We presented a patient suffered from chronic periodontitis with major complain
of her teeth mobility, mostly anterior teeth. She had undergone periodontal treatment, but the
result were bad. In maxilla, at the end of peridontal treatment, all of her teeth need to be
extracted and replaced by dentures. In mandible, there were some teeth that can be used as
abutment for an overdenture, so we decided to place immediate partial overdenture in mandible
with consideration both of her functional and esthetic aspects. Conclusion: One of the
advantages of immediate dentures is patients don’t have to be in edentulous state for any length
of time. After treatment, patient was evaluated, fortunately she had no complaints and was
happy with her new smile.
