Comprehensive prosthetic rehabilitation using Emax, PFM bridges, and flexible RPD: A case report

A 48-year-old partially edentulous female patient presented to the dental clinic asking for oral rehabilitation for her missing teeth and adjustment for her current dentures. Upon examination, root fragments of her maxillary right canine (#13) and maxillary left first premolar (#24) were found and extracted to proceed with prosthodontic treatment. The evaluation also showed that her present dentures on the first quadrant were unfit for use. As a replacement, new flexible dentures were indicated and later on fitted. Other edentulous areas, namely her second, third, and fourth quadrants, were supplied with fixed partial bridges. The material used for the abutments and pontics were porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns. Apart from her missing teeth, the patient also had a discolored zirconia crown on her maxillary right central incisor created by her previous dentist. The patient did not want this removed. Instead, an Emax crown was attached to the adjacent maxillary central and lateral incisors. The combination of these treatments was able to meet the patient’s functional and esthetic demands
