Impression making is a critical step in the fabrication of a partial removable dental prosthesis (RDP). A technique is described for making final impressions to fabricate partial RDPs for Kennedy class III patients using a computer-aided design and computer-assisted manufacturing digital impression system.

INTRODUCTIONOn the basis of the results of this in vitro study, resin composite may be an effective way to repair or mask the appearance of amalgams placed in visible areas of the mouth.

Maxillary edentulous patients have been successfully treated with implant-supported fixed and removable dental prostheses. The fixed implant-supported dental prosthesis has been used for >20 years. It has lost popularity because the design of this restoration requires special access for oral hygiene around the abutment cylinders creating an esthetic quandary in the maxilla. The use of the mid-sagital palatal suture to osseointegrate anchorage devices for orthodontic purposes has shown satisfactory results. This clinical case documents the successful use of mid-palatal implants as an extension of orthodontic anchorage to gain accessory support and retention for a maxillary complete removable dental prosthesis.
