Abstract:

Aims To investigate the factors that dentists use to decide whether or not to make a patient edentulous. Method A previous qualitative investigation identified factors that dentists would consider when making a patient edentulous. Using this information, a questionnaire was created and sent to all dentists practising in East Lancashire, asking them whether these factors would make them more or less likely to extract all remaining teeth for a patient. Results 123 usable questionnaires were returned from 187 dentists, a response rate of 67%. Dentists felt that clinical factors such as poor periodontal health and active decay were more likely to make them extract all remaining teeth. They were also concerned about retention and were keen to retain strategic teeth. Apart from their acknowledgment of the need to comply with the patient's wish to keep his or her teeth, the dentists had a neutral opinion of other factors such as poor health or their personal attitude to treatment. On average, respondents were rendering just over three patients per year edentulous. Conclusion In this group of dentists, the key clinical factors that were considered when they decided whether or not to render a patient edentulous were periodontal disease, caries, and the attitude of the patient to tooth loss. Relatively few patients were rendered edentulous each year and if this pattern is common elsewhere in the United Kingdom, it may lead to a lack of skills within the dental workforce in managing patients’ transition from dentate to edentulous.

Abstract:

Summary. Prosthetic rehabilitation of a completely edentulous patient is no more confined to replacement of missing teeth. Long span of edentulism and ageing leads to loss of support of the facial musculature, which is of great concern in treating completely edentulous patients. Flaccid facial musculature eventually leads to sunken cheeks and unesthetic appearance, causing a negative impact on psychological well-being of the patient. The use of conventional complete dentures can restore the loss to some extent, but in some cases, additional support is required. The present clinical report exemplifies the use of magnet-retained detachable maxillary cheek plumper prosthesis in a completely edentulous patient with sunken cheeks.

Abstract:

Objective: The cases of edentulous treatment are increasing in Turkey. The patients are less satisfied with the health care facilities of the public sector health institutes. The government of Turkey is facing critical challenges for medical reforms in the public sector to improve the living standards of the public. The objective of current research is to determine the influence of health behavior on immediate loading implant success and patient satisfaction in complete edentulous treatment. Method: A Likert scale questionnaire is employed and the response rate of this research is 71%. The population of this research is the patients visiting different clinics for edentulous treatment and loading implant success. Results: The research findings demonstrate the satisfaction of the patients and implant success is influenced by the health behavior of patients. Conclusion: The model of this research is enrichment in the knowledge of the edentulous treatment of the patients. The practical implications of this research are outstanding to influence the satisfaction of the edentulous treatment patients who are getting the treatment of loading implant success. The research has certain limitations that are straightforwardly presented with future directions to enrich the knowledge of edentulous treatment by the research work of scholars in health care.

Abstract:

Complete edentulism is classified by the World Health Organization as a disability based on the ability of the condition to severely impair mastication and speech as well as adversely impact social activity and quality of life for people who are edentulous. For edentulous patients use of conventional dentures can present some limitations especially in the mandible where rapid bone loss that is up to four times that of the edentulous maxilla and the presence of the tongue can be able to impair denture stability, retention and patient comfort. The use of dental implants to support or retain denture prosthesis has resulted in improved masticatory function, retention and stability for edentulous patients significantly improving their quality of life. The goal of this article is to present on two case reports involving Treatment planning of Overdenture and Hybrid prosthesis for Completely edentulous patients.

Abstract:

Microstomia may result from surgical treatment of orofacial neoplasms, cleft lips, maxillofacial trauma, burns, radiotherapy, or scleroderma. A maximal oral opening that is smaller than the size of a complete denture can make prosthetic treatment challenging. This clinical paper presents the prosthodontic management of a total edentulous patient with microstomia. Sectional mandibular and maxillary trays and foldable mandibular and maxillary denture were fabricated for the total edentulous patient.

Abstract:

The establishment of a fixed and reproducible reference point (centric relation) is critical when reorganizing the occlusion in a dentate patient or constructing complete dentures in an edentulous patient. There are many techniques for guiding the patient's mandible into centric relation and recording the relationship between the maxilla and mandible in this position. Some patients are resistant to being manipulated into this position and have an unreproducible habitual path of closure. A gothic arch tracing is considered to be the most reliable and predictable method of determining centric relation. The present article describes the gothic arch tracing technique and illustrates its use in an edentulous patient during the construction of complete dentures. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The gothic arch technique can be used to predictably locate centric relation in both dentate and edentulous patients.

Abstract:

AbstractObjectivesThe aim of Working Group 4 was to address patient benefits associated with implant dentistry. Focused questions on (a) dental patient‐reported outcomes (dPROs), (b) improvement in orofacial function, and (c) preservation of orofacial tissues in partially and fully edentulous patients following provision of implant‐retained/supported dental prostheses were addressed.Materials and MethodsThree systematic reviews formed the basis for discussion. Participants developed statements and recommendations determined by group consensus based on the findings of the systematic reviews. These were then presented and accepted following further discussion and modifications as required by the plenary of the 7th ITI Consensus Conference, taking place in 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal.ResultsEdentulous patients wearing complete dentures (CD) experience substantial improvements in overall dPROs and orofacial function following treatment with either complete implant‐supported fixed dental prostheses (CIFDP) or implant overdentures (IODs). With respect to dPROs, mandibular IODs retained by two implants are superior to IODs retained by one implant. However, increasing the number of implants beyond two, does not further improve dPROs. In fully edentulous patients, rehabilitation with CIFDP or IOD is recommended to benefit the preservation of alveolar bone and masseter muscle thickness.ConclusionsCompletely edentulous patients benefit substantially when at least the mandible is restored using an CIFDP or an IOD compared to CD. In fully edentulous patients, implant prostheses are the best option for tooth replacement. The availability of this treatment modality should be actively promoted in all edentulous communities, including those with limited access and means.

Abstract:

A large portion of the US population today is edentulous. It is estimated that over 23 million individuals are completely edentulous and 12 million are edentulous in one arch. In addition to that, we have a growing population with terminal dentition conditions. Traditionally, these patients were treated with staged implant placement and delayed loading. Such traditional approach requires multiple surgeries and longer treatment time. Consequently, the traditional treatment approach is associated with increased morbidity and longer healing periods. Utilizing this Digital workflow for implant reconstruction to treat patients with terminal dentition and those who are fully edentulous will significantly increase predictability, precision, and reduce treatment chair side time which overall increases patient satisfaction.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Treatment of partially edentulous patients with few remaining teeth is very challenging. These cases can be successfully treated with natural teeth supported overdentures. Comprehensive treatment plan with natural teeth supported overdentures saves the proprioceptive response of the teeth, along with other benefits such as improved masticatory efficiency, better retention, stability, support as compared to conventional tissue supported complete dentures. The other most important benefit of overdentures is the psychological security of well retaining dentures which increases patient's confidence level. This article presents a case report in which a partially edentulous patient was successfully rehabilitated with comprehensive treatment of maxillary natural teeth supported overdenture with locator attachment (Zest Anchors) and mandibular partial denture.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Edentulous orofacial dyskinesia is a rare condition, characterized by involuntary rhythmic movements of the mandible and presents an embarrassing situation for the patient. Edentulism has been considered as one of the proponents of these irregular movements, and rehabilitation of these patients with complete denture-fabrication using traditional technique restores the masticatory inefficiency and the esthetic component of the patient. Surprisingly, these movements disappear during the clinical steps of complete denture-fabrication and upon insertion of the dentures. Disturbances in the proprioception following loss of tooth may be a contributory factor for edentulous dyskinesia.

Abstract:

Abstract This case series elaborates on tooth-supported overdenture for prosthetic rehabilitation as a treatment modality in partially edentulous patients. Loss of teeth causes continuous ridge resorption and poor denture foundation affecting the success of prosthesis. Retained natural teeth act as abutments for prosthetic rehabilitation of partial edentulous arches. Tooth-supported overdenture is the mainstay of preventive prosthodontics which preserves natural teeth and/or roots. The cases describe the use of tooth-supported complete overdenture and removable partial overdenture with metal denture base to rehabilitate partially edentulous arches. The natural teeth maintain proprioception and provide additional support, stability, retention, and psychological benefit to the patient than the conventional complete denture with completely edentulous ridges.

Abstract:

The development of implantology has allowed implant-supported fixed prosthetic treatments in edentulous patients to become the main alternative to conventional rehabilitation. The dental experience of edentate patients comprises an extensive history of successes and failures with traditional rehabilitation. The following report describes a case of a completely edentulous patient who recovered oral function and aesthetics by placing six implants in each jaw and, subsequently, restoration with metal–ceramic implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs). The authors explore the criteria that must be considered for the selection of the material to be used in implant-supported fixed prostheses. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To ensure enhanced survival rates for implant-supported fixed prosthetic restorations in edentulous patients, patient factors, their expectations, the number of implants to be placed and the materials to be used must be carefully considered.

Abstract:

Background and Objectives: Edentulism is considered to be an impediment impacting both patients’ quality of life and their nutrition. Conventional complete dentures are still a preferred treatment. However, there is no consensus on the most important factors which could substantially reduce the risk of patient dissatisfaction. This study evaluated the following determinants concerning patient satisfaction with complete maxillary and mandibular dentures: sex, denture-related functional and aesthetic aspects, and the degree of bone resorption. Materials and Methods: This study included 70 patients aged 34–81 years of age. All complete dentures were made by following the same technology. Visual analogue scales were used to assess patients’ overall satisfaction with dentures, comfort, ability to speak and chew, denture aesthetics, stability, and ease of prosthesis cleaning. Satisfaction with upper and lower dentures was rated separately. The degree of bone resorption was classified by using the Kalk and de Baat (1989) method. Results: The mean (SD) age of the study participants was 67.3 (10.4) years; 65.7% (n = 46) were females and 34.3% (n = 24) were males. There were no significant sex-based differences in resorption of the maxilla or mandibula. There were significant differences between maxillary and mandibular dentures, with lower mean satisfaction scores concerning chewing and maxillary complete dentures, and in regard to stability and comfort for mandibular complete dentures. There was a non-significant overall lower satisfaction with increased age. In multivariate analysis for mandibular complete dentures, aesthetics and stability significantly predicted the patient’s comfort levels, and the patient’s comfort significantly predicted overall satisfaction. For maxillary complete dentures, patient comfort and aesthetics significantly predicted overall patient satisfaction. Conclusions: Age, sex, and degree of resorption were not associated with patient satisfaction with complete dentures. Overall, patient satisfaction with both maxillary and mandibular complete dentures was related to their comfort level and denture aesthetics, and patient comfort itself was associated with stability of the mandibular denture.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to report a rare case of an aggressive nasopalatine cyst with nasal involvement in an edentulous patient. A 61-year-old edentulous Caucasian male presented with an anterior maxillary lesion that prevented him from wearing his complete upper denture. Clinical examination showed vestibular and palatal swelling around the edentulous sites of teeth #11, 12 and 13. Radiological examination revealed a well-limited cyst of the anterior maxilla that was aggressive in nature because of its size, erosion of the palatal and buccal cortical bone, and extension to the nasal floor. The provisional diagnosis was an aggressive nasopalatine duct cyst, but because the patient had been edentulous for years, the differential diagnosis also included a residual cyst. To remove the lesion, we used a slightly modified surgical procedure compared with the conventional approach: a flap was raised on the palatal side and another on the vestibular side instead of the classical palatal approach. The diagnosis of a nasopalatine duct cyst was confirmed after a histopathological examination. Large destructive nasopalatine duct cysts involving the nasal cavity are rare. In an edentulous patient, this lesion may be misdiagnosed as a residual cyst. In this case, the surgical risk was the inadvertent creation of a naso-antral communication. The lesion was completely enucleated without complications and healing was uneventful.

Abstract:

Aims To identify the factors that dentists use to decide whether to render a patient edentulous, prior to developing a questionnaire to investigate the factors that dentists use when making this decision. Method This was a qualitative study involving two groups of seven dentists practising in primary care in East Lancashire who were given scenarios involving patients of different types to facilitate discussion and identify all factors. Audio recordings were used during the focus groups and were subsequently fully transcribed. Two members of the research team independently coded the transcripts and then used thematic analysis to identify key themes. Results Analysis of the results identified 12 factors that the dentists considered when making a patient edentulous. These were caries, periodontal disease, position of the teeth, aesthetics, bone support, the transition from partial dentures, patient motivation, medicolegal issues, age of the patient, patient choice, cost of treatment, and the dentist's attitude and skills. Conclusion The dentists identified a large number of factors that they might consider before making a patient edentulous. There was a consensus that the change should be made gradually, if possible.

Abstract:

Background The human tongue plays a critical role in various oral processes and its position can be significantly affected by dental status, particularly in partially dentate and completely edentulous patients. Understanding the relationship between tongue position and dental status is essential for optimal prosthodontic treatment and patient quality of life. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the differences in the resting tongue position between partially dentate and completely edentulous patients and to understand how these differences could influence prosthodontic treatment strategies. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Institute of Dentistry, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro/Hyderabad, from 02-02-2021 to 30-11-2022. The study included 400 patients, divided into partially dentate (200 patients) and completely edentulous (200 patients) groups. Patients were further classified based on gender, age, and Kennedy classification. The tongue position was categorized as normal upper, normal lower, abnormal upper, and abnormal lower. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 22.0, with a significance level set at p≤0.05. Results In the partially dentate group, 57% and 63% were males in Group A and B, respectively, while 43% and 37% were females. In the completely edentulous group, males constituted 50% and 43% in Group A and B, respectively, with females making up the remaining percentages. Age-wise, 63% of partially dentate patients in both groups were aged 35-45, compared to 6% and 12.1% in the completely edentulous groups. Kennedy classification showed varying distributions with Class 2 being most prevalent in partially dentate Group B (43%). Tongue position analysis revealed that normal upper position was present in 28% of partially dentate and 16% of completely edentulous patients, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). Abnormal upper position was noted in 36% of partially dentate and 38% of completely edentulous patients. Conclusion The study concluded significant differences in tongue positions between partially dentate and completely edentulous patients. These findings underscore the importance of considering tongue position in prosthodontic treatment planning, especially for completely edentulous patients.

Abstract:

Abstract Numerous long-term studies have shown that treatment with dental implants can provide edentulous patients with a more stable alternative to complete dentures and partially edentulous patients with a more conservative form of tooth replacement than conventional fixed partial dentures. Until recently, commercially available dental implants have been limited to diameters ranging from 3.0 mm to 7.0 mm. Although this range of diameters has been able to address most clinical needs, partially edentulous patients who could not accommodate a 3.0-mm-diameter implant without damaging adjacent dental structures were excluded from implant therapy. This article reports on the surgical treatment and immediate restoration of a patient who received mini implants that were 2.4 mm in diameter.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Treatment options for insufficient ridge morphology includes the use of short implants, vertical ridge augmentation procedures, or cantilever prostheses in completely edentulous patients. Due to the less predictable long-term prognosis associated with the above-mentioned procedures, the “All on 4” technique was proposed for the rehabilitation in edentulous jaws. The All on 4 treatment concept meets the patient requirements with an immediately loaded fixed prosthesis supported by four implants. This article depicts a clinical report in which an “All on 4” implant treatment is done with delayed loading protocol due to inadequate primary stability obtained.

Abstract:

Abstract Aim This clinical report describes the occlusal rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient with lost vertical dimension. Background The patient did not want a removable partial denture. Implants, fixed restorations with occlusal plane correction, were used to restore the anterior and posterior support and treat the severely worn dentition. However, a partially edentulous patient may be unable to recover normal function, esthetics, comfort, or phonetics with a conventional removable dental prosthesis. The use of dental implants–supported fixed prosthesis offers a multitude of benefits over a tooth–soft tissue supported removable partial denture prosthesis. Summary This clinical report describes an organized approach to an occlusal reconstruction of a severely worn dentition, partially edentulous patient with fixed restorations, implants, occlusal plane correction, and recovery of the vertical dimension. The treatment offered the patient improved esthetics and the restoration of oral function. Clinical Significance The main indications for implant-supported restorations in a partially edentulous patient are the elimination of the freeend distal extension and the benefit from fixed restorations. Success with implant-supported prosthodontics needs the same or more attention to detail and careful treatment planning for conventional fixed prosthodontics; a team approach is recommended.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of incidence of various removable partial denture classes among a selected sample of population.The study population consisted from 362 patients (156 men and 206 women) were selected from prosthodontics department, college of dentistry, Baghdad university. Intraoral examination of each patient has been done to determine the Kennedy classification for each patient. Categorization of modification areas for the Kennedy partial edentulous cases has been done, also categorization of partially edentulous cases according to age and gender has been done. The results indicated that mandibular removable partial edentulism are more common than the maxillary cases, and the class I mandibular cases are the most commonly incident and the class IV partially edentulous cases were the least common cases.The distribution of partially edentuluosness revealed the influences of the general pattern of tooth loss, which could be modified by patients' demands and socioeconomic status.

Abstract:

Mouth floor enlargements (MFE) are observed in edentulous and partially edentulous patients, impairing denture fitting, and have recently been described in the literature as hyperplasias of the sublingual glands. OBJECTIVE: This study aims at describing the microscopic aspects of MFE that contribute to their final diagnosis. METHODS: Twenty-four specimens were surgically removed from the enlarged mouth floor of 19 patients (15 females and 4 males). Patient age ranged from 48 to 74 years, with a mean of 57 years. The main surgical indication was to permit or improve the fitting of dentures. Six patients were completely edentulous and 13 were partially edentulous. The material was processed for microscopic examination and stained with hematoxylin-eosin, Mallory's trichrome and periodic-acid Schiff (PAS). RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The epithelium of the mouth floor was normal in 17 cases, hyperplastic in 4 and atrophic in 3. Six of the 24 sublingual glands removed were microscopically normal, while the other specimens presented acinar atrophy with hyperplasia of duct-like structures. Interstitial fibrosis was observed in 18 cases and was accompanied by adipose tissue infiltration in 15. Decreased lymphoid tissue was observed in 16 samples and oncocytosis was present in 5 cases. We suggest that MFE in edentulous or partially edentulous patients should be considered as an entity for the text books.

Abstract:

Management of adult orthodontic patient is always challenging as they need interdisciplinary approach and wants early completion of treatment. Adult patients generally have edentulous spaces due to various reasons. Orthodontic space closure of such old, edentulous areas especially in mandibular posterior region is the main challenge. To curtail treatment duration, a new technique of rapid Molar mesilazation utilizing dentoalveolar distraction osteogenesis was used for orthodontic space closure. In this report, we presented a technique of orthodontic closure of edentulous spaces in the mandibular posterior region accelerated by corticotomy and alveolar ridge expansion utilizing dentoalveolar distraction by using a modified dentoalvelar distractor made from mandibular hyrax appliance. With this modified dentoalvelar distractor anchorage loss was minimum and edentulous space was closed in short time, also satisfactory function and esthetics were achieved without any restorative treatment.

Abstract:

Patients with unrepaired cleft palate defects still exist within remote rural areas. The prosthodontic rehabilitation of an adult edentulous cleft patient could be very demanding for treating maxillofacial prosthodontist, since most of them are edentulous, challenging the retention and the stability of the maxillary prosthesis. It is therefore highly important that cleft palate patients seek dental and prosthodontic care as early in their life as possible. In this report, an unusual case of a patient self-obturated cleft palate defect is presented. The patient’s self-made prosthesis was replaced by an appropriately fabricated pharyngeal obturator prosthesis in order to improve speech and swallowing.

Abstract:

The edentulous ridge classifications most commonly used have their limitations in treatment planning. They do not provide an indication of the complexities that may occur when constructing a new set of complete dentures. The new classification system suggested in this article helps with improved record-keeping, information exchange between colleagues, and communication between patient and clinician. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The new edentulous ridge classification system links the various edentulous ridge shapes to possible complications that could arise during denture construction.

Abstract:

<strong>Abstract</strong> Combination syndrome (CS) is a dental condition that is generally seen in patients with a fully edentulous maxilla and partially edentulous mandible with preserved anterior teeth. This syndrome is characterised by presence of anterior maxillary resorption in combination with hypertrophic and atrophic changes in different quadrants of maxilla and mandible. This makes it a grueling condition in dentistry that requires significant experience along with advanced restorative and surgical expertise. Conventional treatment with full upper and partial lower dentures for the CS cases are not always acceptable or satisfying for patients and it frequently requires multiple remakes due to continuing bone resorption. Dental implant rehabilitation challenges conventional treatment with bone-anchoring strategies to provide improved retention and stability for implant-retained and supported prostheses. This case report portrays a successful treatment of the edentulous maxilla and partially edentulous mandible in CS patient. The necessity of an interdisciplinary approach for early prevention and treatment of this complex condition is emphasized.

Abstract:

Prosthetic rehabilitation of an edentulous cleft lip and palate patient with a combined hard and soft palate defect is a great challenge, due to the lack of retention of the obturator prosthesis as a result of its weight and the inability to obtain a border seal. Dental implants improve the retention, stability, and occlusal function of prostheses when used in carefully selected cleft lip and palate cases. This clinical report presents an edentulous unilateral cleft lip and palate patient who has hard and soft palate defects and an atrophied maxilla, treated with an implant-supported speech-aid prosthesis Prosthetic rehabilitation of an edentulous cleft lip and palate patient with a combined hard and soft palate defect is a great challenge, due to the lack of retention of the obturator prosthesis as a result of its weight and the inability to obtain a border seal. Dental implants improve the retention, stability, and occlusal function of prostheses when used in carefully selected cleft lip and palate cases. The prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous patient with unrepaired cleft palate poses a great challenge due to both hard and soft tissue defect compromising retention, support and stability of the obturator due to inability to obtain border seal and heavy weight. In carefully selected patient use of osseointegrated implant along with the bars and clips supporting and retaining maxillary overdentures on implants play a significant role in their efficacy. This clinical report presents an edentulous unilateral cleft palate patient treated with an implant-supported Hader bar and clips.

Abstract:

Patient. A 68-year-old man was operated on for squamous cell carcinoma (T3N3M0) of the maxilla creating the hemimaxillary surgical defect on right side. The remaining arch was completely edentulous. There was remarkable limitation in the oral opening with reduced perimeter of the oral cavity due to radiation and surgical scar contracture. This article describes prosthetic rehabilitation by modifying the design of the obturator and achieving the retention with dental implant.Discussion. Severe limitation in the oral opening may occur in clinical situations following the postsurgical management of oral and maxillofacial defects. The prosthetic rehabilitation of the surgical defect in such patients becomes a challenging task due to limited access to the oral cavity. This challenge becomes even more difficult if the patient is edentulous and there are no teeth to gain the retention, stability, and support.Conclusion. In severe microstomia prosthesis insertion and removal can be achieved with modification of the maximum width of the prosthesis. Dental implant retention is useful treatment option in edentulous patients with maxillary surgical defect provided that sufficient bone volume and accessibility are there for implant placement.

Abstract:

Objective: Closing old extraction spaces in adults can be an arduous task for the orthodontist. Loss of teeth results in alveolar ridge atrophy, reducing its height and labiolingual thickness which severely restricts orthodontic tooth movement. This case report highlights successful orthodontic treatment encompassing retraction of protruded teeth in an adult patient who presented with knife-edge shaped edentulous posterior ridges. Method: Esthetic and functional rehabilitation was achieved in this case with an interdisciplinary approach. The barrier of narrow atrophic posterior edentulous ridges which was inhibiting orthodontic tooth movement for retraction was overcome by bilateral alveolar ridge split followed by bone grafting. This procedure led to increased alveolar ridge height and width facilitating orthodontic space closure and retraction of forwardly placed anterior teeth. Simultaneously corticotomy cuts were placed in the mandibular anterior teeth region to accelerate the tooth movement as significant delay in treatment completion had occurred due to the pandemic situation. After achieving the required retraction of anterior teeth, the remaining edentulous spaces were managed with fixed prosthesis. Findings: A 22-year-old female patient was found to have protrusive and incompetent lips with acute nasolabial angle due to forwardly and irregularly placed front teeth with an overjet of 6mm. The patient had missing 35, 36, 45, 46, and 47 leading to bilateral posterior narrow edentulous ridges. The lateral cephalogram revealed skeletal class II jaw bases with vertical growth pattern and proclined upper and lower incisors. Clinical and radiographic evaluation post-treatment revealed significant improvements in smile aesthetics andperiodontal phenotype. Hence, augmented corticotomy assisted orthodontic treatment could be a promising treatment strategy in adult patients with posterior edentulous atrophic ridges. Novelty: This case report describes successful treatment of an adult patient with posterior edentulous ridges and forwardly placed anterior teeth which was a challenging situation in itself and got further complicated due to covid 19 pandemic situations wherein the patient had to discontinue her treatment for more than 2 years. After such a long break the chances of successful space closure were scarce and the patient demanded early completion of treatment as it was over delayed. Meticulous planning and execution of surgical interventions combined with accelerated orthodontic procedures helped to overcome all the hindrances, yielding a significant esthetic enhancement, improvement in functional occlusion and patient satisfaction within a short duration of time.
