Abstract EN
The skeletal class III relationship presents complex dentoalveolar problems, requiring multidisciplinary treatment.
In edentulous people, severe atrophy of the jawbone simulates the clinical appearance of a skeletal class III relationship (pseudoskeletal class III), which presents major problems for rehabilitation.
This article describes the rehabilitation of a 67-year-old patient with a pseudoskeletal class III relationship.
The mandible was restored with two implant-supported bar-retained overdentures using clips for retention.
The extremely atrophic maxilla was restored with a combination of sinus augmentation, implant placement, and classic prosthodontic treatment using an electroformed mesostructured overdenture with swivel lock attachments on an implant-supported bar.
By performing minimal augmentative and implant surgeries and using the possibilities and advantages of classic prosthetic dentistry, the clinical situation described here could be managed and the atrophic maxilla could be rehabilitated.
