A case report

Partial and complete edentulous conditions are a common occurrence in the field of dentistry. Many patients report to the dentist with the loss of posterior teeth or complete loss of teeth with compromised bone conditions. Often, these scenarios are difficult to treat with a one-way approach and may require a multidisciplinary approach. Complete loss of bone or compromised bone conditions may delimit the fixed options. Hence, a treatment option that can bridge the pathway between fixed and removable options can be elected, to give patients a satisfactory restorative treatment which will fulfill both functional and esthetical demands. This clinical report describes the complete rehabilitation of partial and complete edentulism by combining the principles of fixed and removable prosthodontics to obtain the benefits of both the treatments.
