Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A systematic approach to establishing the diagnosis and determining the treatment plan for partially edentulous cases having a minimal number of remaining abutment teeth has been presented. In most of these types of cases, consideration should be given to how the transition to a complete denture will be accomplished at a later date when and if it becomes necessary. Whenever possible, the minimal number and simplest attachments should be used, always keeping in mind how often and what kind of maintenance procedures are employed (for example, changing the male of a Zest anchor, or Ceka attachment). The patient should be made aware of these procedures when the case is presented and should be informed about the periodontal and prosthodontic requirements for after care. Fees should also be discussed in detail.
