Abstract

 This case describes the treatment of a 24 yrs old male patient who lost multiple teeth and had a fracture of maxillary and mandibular jaw due to trauma. As the patient was having deepbite and serious occlusal instability the teeth could not be replaced by a conventional fixed prosthesis nor  implants could be placed because of  insufficient bone width. The vertical dimension was increased using bite plane over a period of 6 months and then anterior teeth were extracted followed by alveolectomy and alveloplasty for gaining space. Once the healing was completed the mandibular over denture and maxillary fixed prosthesis was inserted in patient mouth.

Keywords: Dentoalveolar Trauma; Fracture; Facial Malalignment; Alveolectomy; Alveoloplasty; Fixed Prosthesis.
