70 years old female patient having a problem of occlusion, function and stability in her prosthesis applied to our clinic with a complaint of not being able to use her lower prosthesis. After the evaluation of the present denture, it was observed that in addition to the poor occlusion, the patient also had flat residual ridge in the anterior section and negative residual ridge in the posterior sections of her lower jaw caused by extreme resorption. As a result of clinic and radiographic examination, a distractor was surgically placed in the anterior section of the lower jaw for increasing bone support. After waiting for 4 months, 2 implants were placed in the canine site of the lower jaw. Prosthetic treatment was begun after 3 months. Conventional complete prosthesis for the upper jaw and ball- attachment with implant-supported prosthesis for the lower jaw were performed. During the clinical controls after the treatment, it was observed that her chewing function and aesthetic expectations were satisfied. Mandibular reconstruction applied implant supported removable denture treatments lead to good clinical results.Keywords: Jaw, edentulous; dental prosthesis, implant-supportedTurkiye Klinikleri J Dental Sci 2007, 13:139-145
