Characterizing Single Complete Denture Opposing Natural Teeth and Partial Denture - Case Report

Every human being is unique biologically. This not only implies to his biological make up but also to his behavior. When it comes to replacement of teeth, most patients that dentist encounters are over demanding in terms of esthetics of their new teeth. Expectations of patients that are realistic have to be met while ignoring unrealistic ones. A male patient reported with few natural teeth in the maxillary arch while being completely edentulous in the mandibular arch. Remaining natural teeth had undergone gingival recession and staining due to tobacco and tea. A single complete denture for mandibular arch and a treatment, partial denture for the maxillary arch was fabricated in which the denture teeth were characterized with staining.
