ABSTRACT:Now a days, prosthetic rehabilitation of partially edentulous arches through dental implant placements is becoming the most sought and accepted treatment modality among the patients and is gradually replacing the conventional treatment approaches comprising of removable partial dentures (RPDs) and tooth-supported fixed partial dentures (FPDs). However, patients often present with complex cases of partial edentulism where the arches may exhibit mal-alignment problems requiring orthodontic treatment and situations of bone inadequacy demanding bone graft procedures before implant placement. A multi-disciplinary approach could be the best way to manage such challenging cases. This article describes a similar case that was managed efficiently and systematically by adopting a multidisciplinary approach comprising of multiple dental specialities.
