Abstract

In crossed occlusion, displacement of removable partial denture is likely to occur during function due to different characteristics of abutment and supporting tissue. It increases discomfort to the patient. In addition, adverse effect on the residual ridge and abutment can induce an unfavorable prognosis of the denture. In this case, a small number of implants can be placed in strategic locations. Attachment can be added for additional support and retention of removable partial denture assisted by implants. This article describes the rehabilitation of a crossed occlusion patient using implant-assisted removable partial denture with Locator$^{(R)}$ attachment. After 24 months, the patient was satisfied with the aesthetic and function of the prosthesis that is maintained stable.
