I (Finlay) have created a new Facebook page - "Finlay Sutton Removable Prosthodontics Education" - dedicated to my teaching, courses and mentorship in removable prosthodontics. This new page contains information about masterclasses I run at the practice for partial dentures, complete dentures, immediate dentures and implant supported removable dentures. In addition it has fully documented cases from start to finish of patients whom I have treated. THIS GARSTANG DENTAL REFERRAL PRACTICE PAGE WILL BE USED FOR THE PRACTICE ONLY - MANY THANKS. https://www.facebook.com/finlaysuttonremo vableprosthodontist/

Finlay's case presentation Provision of a maxillary cobalt chromium based partial denture and immediate resin bonded bridge LR2,1
This 57 year old man self-referred with the following dental concerns: 1. Previous multiple extractions due to bone erosion (resorption)... 2. The lower denture fitted after the extractions irritates my gum and I haven't been able to wear it for the past 3 months 3. The upper denture has been replaced 3 times and the most recent one is not fitting well again and becoming more difficult to wear 4. Eating is becoming difficult and I sometimes whistle when I speak
Dental wish list: "Guide me to the most suitable solution:.
Diagnoses: 1. The maxillary cobalt chromium-based denture was under-extended over the tuberosities and had poor tissue fit resulting in the denture "rocking". The aesthetics of the denture were compromised owing to poor tooth positioning and highly visible metal clasps on the upper premolars when speaking and smiling. These clasps had resulted in wear on the labial surfaces of the upper 4s. 2. The remaining natural teeth were in good condition, with slightly reduced but healthy periodontium and the patient had a good standard of oral hygiene.
Treatment options discussed with the patient: 1. Do nothing. The patient did not want this option. Replace the existing maxillary cobalt chromium based partial denture with one having improved function and aesthetics. This is the option the patient requested. 2. As option 2 with mandibular cobalt chromium based partial denture to replace the missing teeth. We did not believe this was necessary as option 1 would give 10 opposing pairs of teeth. This was presented as an option in the future should the patient wish additional occlusal balance, particularly on the left posterior section following provision of treatment option 2. 3. Replace the missing teeth with dental implants and fixed prostheses. The patient did not want this option.
Following consultation and discussion of the above treatment options, the patient chose to have option 2 namely, a maxillary cobalt chromium based partial denture. The clinical situation and treatment process is shown in detail below with photographs. The patient was successfully rehabilitated with this and his quality of life considerably improved. The clinical work was provided by Finlay and the technical work by Rowan.
**The immediate resin bonded bridge LR2,1 was required as the patient suffered trauma (at home) part way through treatment resulting in fracturing of the LR2 **
