Abstract
Introduction. Malocclusions in partially edentulous patients represent a
special rehabilitation challenge in dentistry. In patients who, in addition
to orthodontic problem, also have a certain number of missing teeth, it is
necessary to approach in a multidisciplinary manner. This approach implies a
synergy of conservative, orthodontic and prosthetic treatment. The aim of
this paper was to present a patient with partial edentulism including upper
left canine palatally located that was successfully rehabilitated with
orthodontic and subsequent fixed prosthodontic treatment. Case report. The
clinical examination of the 24-year-old patient was followed by additional
orthodontic analysis that included analysis of study models, X-rays, and
photographs. The patient was found to have ectopic teeth 13 and 23, reverse
overbite of the tooth 12, and tooth 26 was extracted in childhood. Due to
the prevalence of carious lesions and tooth destruction, the attending
dentist planned extraction of teeth 16, 14, 24, 25. It was decided to
conduct adjunctive orthodontic treatment in order to achieve tooth levelling
and move teeth to the positions planned in the previous analysis. After
completion of orthodontic treatment, fixed prosthodontic work was done to
achieve complete functional and aesthetic rehabilitation.
