A Transitional Overlay Partial Denture for a Young Patient: A Clinical Report

Abstract: This clinical report describes a noninvasive approach for the treatment of a patient diagnosed with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) and severe anterior open bite. The patient's functional and esthetic expectations were successfully met with a transitional overlay removable partial denture.Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is an inherited disease that disturbs the formation of enamel.1,2 There are three types of AI: hypoplasia, hypocalcification, and hypomaturation.

“…Several case raports support their successful use in patients with congenital and acquired anomalies. [18][19][20][21][22] In several parameters, the results are similar to extensive fixed restorations with compromise in esthetic and risks of material fracture. 23 While there are limited studies on longevity of ORPDs, it appears that wear, fracture or debonding of occlusal materials are primary causes of failure; therefore, these potential risks as well as esthetic and functional limitations should be discussed with the patient.…”

“…As interim or permanent prosthesis for patients with medical or financial limitation for FPDs. 16,[18][19][20][21][22][23] There are major advantages in cast metal ORPDs; they are simpler, less traumatic and less expensive than fixed prosthetic option. Several case raports support their successful use in patients with congenital and acquired anomalies.…”

“…Removable partial dentures are considered to be a good treatment option because they have many advantages compared to fixed prosthetic options: they are simpler, less traumatic and less expensive (19). With overlay removable partial dentures, successful functional and esthetic results have been reported (19,20). Zarati et al (20) have stated that removable prosthesis can be used as a temporary measure for young patients until the patient has fully complete maturation.…”
