Introduction: Partial edentuloissness has always been a challenge for dental treatment, especially if the patient needs complex dental treatment. The purpose of this article is to represent the possibilities of treatment for patients with partial edentuloissness.
Case series: For the purpose of this study three patients have been examined, diagnosed and treated for their diagnosis - partial edentuloissness. The patients were treated in accordance with their skeletal classes, imitating nature. The persisting natural teeth were examined, treated and prepared for fixed dental constructions with attachments. The stomatognathic system was carefully examined, impressions were taken for the fixed dental bridge constructions and later for the skeletal complex denture.
Conclusion: Every patient needs to be individually treated for optimal results. Still, the combination of fixed-mobile complex construction remains the golden standard for patients who have healthy (or treated) permanent teeth and for several reasons are not candidates for implants. The combination of fixed-mobile dental constructions is a good solution from a functional–aesthetic aspect, for the mutual satisfaction of the patient and the prosthetic team.
Key words: partial edentuloissness, precision attachments, fixed-mobile dental constructions.
