Abstract
A 60-year-old woman presented to the Clinic at Health Science University of Hokkaido on September, 1997. The patient's chief complaint was difficulty in chewing due to pain with tooth clenching of a fixed partial denture in the left mandible. This clinical report describes a treatment approach using implant-supported fixed prostheses by two dental implants after extraction of the abutment teeth. She tried to use the fabricated mandibular removable partial denture but disliked the lingual bar. After discussing a treatment plan using implant-supported fixed prostheses, a decision was made to place implants in the free-end partially edentulous mandible. The patient was followed for 4 years with no surgical or prosthetic complications. It is suggested that a dental implant for prosthetic treatment may improve the quality of life of the patient.
