Abstract
Functional limitation, compromised esthetics, and poor quality of life are few of the consequences of missing teeth. Partial edentulism can be treated by either fixed or removable prosthesis. In compromised abutment situations, tooth-supported fixed dental prostheses are not indicated and patient satisfaction is low with a removable prosthesis. In such cases, implant-supported fixed dental prostheses help in restoring both the function and esthetic demands of the patient. The present case report describes a case of full-mouth rehabilitation in a partially edentulous situation with implant and tooth-supported restoration.
