ABSTRACT

Partial edentulism is a very challenging condition of the stomatognathic system, regarding the predictable possible solutions. Replacing the teeth that are missing also requires replacement of the gum tissue and thus of the resorbed bone structure. The design of a partial denture is individually meticulously planned. Depending of the quality of the teeth the plan treatment will include whether classical partial acrylic dentures or skeletal dentures will represent an option for replacement of the lost dental structures. There is not a solution design available for every partial edentulism. Thus meaning that every patient will be treated clinically and paraclinically individually depending on the patients needs. In patients who have partial edentulism and parafunctions such as bruxism, skeletal dentures are manufactured so that these patients can prevent themselves from themselves.
