Abstract

Oral rehabilitation of partially edentulous arches requires careful treatment planning before any prosthodontic intervention. Kennedy’s class I and II situations are very challenging to rehabilitate especially opposing a complete denture. In certain situation due to the nature of residual tissues, the retention of the prosthesis is compromised. In such conditions, ideally implant supported prosthesis are considered favourable but various factors such as systemic status, economic status of the patient makes it unsuitable. A conventional remobale partial denture with clasps can be given but they are unesthetic and not accepted by the patients. As an alternative extracoronal attachment retained prosthesis are considered. Immediate dentures are relatively better treatment option to avoid the period of edentulism and social embarrassment. These treatment helps to relieve patient anxiety and bring about patient satisfaction. This present case report illustrates the rehabilitation of partially edentulous maxilla with extracoronal attachment retained prosthesis opposing immediate complete denture in mandible.
