The patient of this case is a 67-year old female who had worn complete denture and removable partial denture respectively in maxilla and mandible. She had wanted the refabrication of the maxillary and mandibular denture. Result of diagnosis showed possible approach of two, complete dentures in both jaw or complete denture in maxilla and removable partial denture using implants in mandible. The latter one for treatment was determined and two impalnts were placed in the opposite ares that two natural teeth had been remained in mandible. Two surveyed crowns were attached on implants and had an occlusal rest. Conventional removable partial denture that had an occlusal rest and retentive clasp arms on casting crown attached to implant, was fabricated. About 20 months after delivery revealed no severe marginal bone loss around implants and no problem with removable partial denture. This case has shown the successful result and good satisfaction for patient, and suggested that implant might be used as an abutment for removable partial denture like as natural teeth.
