Prosthodontics & Occlusion · single question
A patient with removable partial dentures (upper and lower) wants 'teeth that don't come out.' She has maxillary first molars and canines remaining bilaterally, and mandibular second molars plus some premolars remaining. Among standard options, which is generally considered the best fit for her stated goal?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Implant-supported fixed prostheses replacing the missing teeth (a non-removable solution)
Since the patient's chief complaint is specifically that she does not want removable prostheses, an implant-supported FIXED solution most directly satisfies that goal, assuming adequate bone volume and a favorable medical/financial workup (which would need to be confirmed clinically before finalizing any treatment plan).
