    Abstract

    Rehabilitation of completely edentulous patients is a challenge to prosthodontists. This is more so with mandible as the resorption rate is 4 times more than that of maxilla. This article describes a case report of a completely edentulous patient with resorbed mandible who insisted on better esthetic and masticatory comfort. The treatment plan included fixed implant prosthesis with titanium framework and ceramic restoration for the mandible and removable complete denture prosthesis for maxilla. All procedures including surgical, prosthetic and lab procedures were explained in detail to the patient and the treatment was completed. Satisfactory results were obtained.
