BARROS-CARIOLA, Mario  y  BARRIENTOS-RAMWELL, Paulina. Partial overdenture as an alternative treatment in patients with periodontal sequelae. A case report. Int. j interdiscip. dent. [online]. 2022, vol.15, n.3, pp.207-210. ISSN 2452-5596.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S2452-55882022000300207.

Rehabilitation of periodontally compromised partially edentulous patients has always been a challenge at the prosthetic level, because the condition of the remaining teeth is not always adequate and the crown-root ratio is often affected by the sequelae of periodontal disease. In these borderline situations, the use of osseointegrated implants accompanied by resilient attachments improves the retention of a conventional removable partial denture, reducing the risk of overloading the remaining teeth. This case report presents a comprehensive rehabilitation, resolved with a maxillary partial overdenture without palatal coverage on Locator® abutments, minimizing the load on the remaining pieces of group II with periodontal sequelae; and a rehabilitation of the mandibular arch with direct, indirect and fixed prosthesis. In this way, it was possible to recover functionality, occlusal support and keep the remaining teeth in the front part of the maxilla.

Palabras clave : Maxillary Implant Overdenture; Palateless Overdenture; Locator Attachment; Periodontal Attachment Loss; Case Report.
