Restoration of a Maxillary Anterior Defect With a Rotational Path Removable Partial Denture: Clinical Report of a Patient With Cleidocranial Dysplasia
Angela Gullard, DMD, PhD, MDS; and David R. Cagna, DMD, MS
This case report article describes the diagnostic evaluation, laboratory procedures, and prosthodontic treatment for a patient with CCD who had two missing maxillary anterior teeth. Following occlusal device therapy and the achievement of occlusal equilibration, restorative treatment was performed, consisting of a maxillary central incisor survey crown, rest seat preparations, and a lateral rotational path removable partial denture (RPD). The article highlights the value of this type of RPD as an alternative restoration for the replacement of missing anterior teeth.
