Strategic Tooth Preservation for Long-Term Prosthetic Success: A Dual Case Analysis

Certificate of participation with 1 CME is available

Preventive prosthodontics emphasizes the preservation of remaining natural teeth and supporting structures to maintain oral function, proprioception, and patient comfort while delaying complete edentulism. Tooth-supported overdentures and telescopic denture systems represent biologically sound and cost-effective modalities that reduce residual ridge resorption and enhance prosthetic stability. This presentation highlights two clinical cases illustrating individualized preventive prosthodontic strategies. The first case involves a 65-year-old female rehabilitated with a maxillary fixed partial denture incorporating semi-precision ball attachments combined with a mandibular tooth-supported overdenture, allowing preservation of strategic abutments while achieving improved retention and functional efficiency. The second case describes a 59-year-old diabetic male with compromised abutment teeth and a dislodged fixed partial denture, managed using a maxillary telescopic denture supported by dual metal copings and a mandibular conventional removable prosthesis, accommodating systemic considerations while ensuring stability and longevity. Both patients demonstrated significant improvements in mastication, comfort, retention, and psychological well-being. Follow-up assessments revealed healthy abutment teeth, stable prostheses, and high patient satisfaction, underscoring the importance of meticulous planning and case-specific decision-making. These cases reaffirm that preventive prosthodontics, through strategic utilization of remaining dentition, aligns with De Van’s philosophy that preservation of existing structures is more valuable than replacement alone, offering predictable outcomes and improved quality of life.

"In the crypto world, this is great news I want to share. Last year, I fell victim to a scam disguised as a safe investment option. I have invested in crypto trading platforms for about 10yrs thinking I was ensuring myself a retirement income, only to find that all my assets were either frozen, I believed my assets were secure — until I discovered that my BTC funds had been frozen and withdrawals were impossible. It was a devastating moment when I realized I had been scammed, and I thought my Bitcoin was gone forever, Everything changed when a close friend recommended the Capital Crypto Recover Service. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication enabled me to recover my lost Bitcoin funds back — more than €560.000 DEM to my BTC wallet. What once felt impossible became a reality thanks to their support. If you have lost Bitcoin through scams, hacking, failed withdrawals, or similar challenges, don’t lose hope.

Thanks to Doctor Razor for the Great miraculous work he did in my life with his herbal remedy. I have been living with this human Papilloma virus and I have shared with my partners my situation because they deserve to have a choice of whether they want to change being with me or not. I unfortunately did not have a choice in this matter leaving me vulnerable and now faced with this HPVirus for the rest of my life or until a cure was discovered. I refused to take the Medical drugs my PCD had told me to take, I surrendered to my fate, because I was careless. On Feb 13 2017, I browsed about the authenticity of This Doctor by visiting his website https://herbalistrazorherb.wixsite.com/drrazorherbalhome , I got to see several Testimonies regarding his works from people he had helped with his medicine. I reached out to him and told him my problems, after we spoke he promised to help me out. I started using his herbal medicine which he sent to me Via the Courier Delivery, and asked me to take the herbal medicine for 18 days. which i did. I am delighted to let you all know that I Got cured of HPV Virus, after the Medical Doctor had confirmed this with the test results, when I went for a medical check up after completing the Herbal Dosage Of 18 days. or Reach out to Doctor razor via email : [email protected] Telephone mobile Number +1 (407) 432-4926
