Abstract
Maxillary edentulous patients have been successfully treated with implant-supported fixed and removable dental prostheses. The fixed implant-supported dental prosthesis has been used for >20 years. It has lost popularity because the design of this restoration requires special access for oral hygiene around the abutment cylinders creating an esthetic quandary in the maxilla. The use of the mid-sagital palatal suture to osseointegrate anchorage devices for orthodontic purposes has shown satisfactory results. This clinical case documents the successful use of mid-palatal implants as an extension of orthodontic anchorage to gain accessory support and retention for a maxillary complete removable dental prosthesis.
