Reabilitação oral com próteses totais removíveis associada a coronectomia para preservação de tecido ósseo: Relato de caso clínico

Abstract

The oral rehabilitation of patients with multiple tooth losses plays an essential role in restoring fundamental functions for every individual, such as mastication, speech, and aesthetics, which are crucial for self-esteem and social integration. This clinical case report aims to descriptively and reflectively present the various aspects involved in rehabilitation with removable prostheses, addressing the stages of planning, execution, and adaptation of prosthetic devices. The clinical case consists of the oral rehabilitation of a patient with a fully edentulous maxilla and a partially edentulous mandible. To determine the most appropriate treatment, a thorough clinical and radiographic evaluation was conducted, along with a periodontal examination to develop an individualized treatment plan. In order to preserve bone tissue, reduce resorption, and facilitate mandibular rehabilitation, the remaining dental elements were maintained through a procedure known as coronectomy.
