Abstract
This case report outlines the prosthodontic rehabilitation of a patient
with a fully edentulous maxillary arch opposing a partially edentulous
mandibular arch. A dual-arch rehabilitation strategy was implemented, involving
the fabrication of a maxillary complete denture in opposition to a mandibular
cast partial denture. The maxillary arch was rehabilitated using an unbreakable
(super-flex) denture, while the mandibular arch was restored with
porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns incorporating occlusal rest seats and a
cobalt–chromium cast partial denture framework. This design aimed to improve
retention, achieve favorable biomechanical distribution of occlusal forces, and
enhance overall prosthesis stability. The clinical report highlights the
step-by-step procedures involved in fabricating both prostheses to achieve
optimal support, stability, esthetics, and masticatory efficiency. The primary
objective of the treatment was to restore oral function and esthetics while
improving the patient’s overall quality of life.
