Description

<p>Patient: The occlusal plane and horizontal mandibular position are important in cases of multiple missing teeth with loss of occlusal support of the molars. This patient had edentulous maxilla and bilateral free-end missing in the mandible and was wearing a denture only for the maxilla. The patient had lost occlusal support a long time ago and so the jaw position was unstable and the occlusal plane was declined.</p><p>Discussion: The occlusal plane was corrected and molar occlusal support was established. The horizontal position of the jaw was evaluated using the gothic arch drawing method, and a prosthesis was fabricated at an appropriate mandibular position.</p><p>Conclusion: Provisional restorations and treatment dentures were placed first, and then evaluated using the gothic arch drawing method. As a result, the fabricated prosthetic appliance achieved good results.</p>
