Abstract: | For patients with periodontally compromised, hypermobile teeth, implant‐supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) or removable dentures are often used after extracting mobile teeth. The loss of native teeth may carry social consequences, depending upon the patient's age, state of health, and degree of social functioning. This report represents successful stabilization and preservation of questionable, hypermobile teeth that have been damaged by traumatic occlusion due to the loss of posterior support with a cross‐arch splinted FDP, as well as the implementation of posterior support using implant‐supported prostheses. |
