RESUMEN

Posterior segmental collapse causes narrowing of interarch space and prevents adequate restoration in the posterior quadrant. Posterior maxillary segmental osteotomy (PMSO) is an alternative option that enables prosthodontic resto ration with an implant-supported fixed partial denture. The following clinical report describes prosthodontic rehabilitation with fixed prostheses after a posterior maxillary segmental osteotomy for a patient with a partially edentulous mandible. ( j Prosthet Dent 2008;99:340-343)

SUMMARY

A combination of posterior maxillary segmental osteotomy and placement of mandibular implants opposing a fixed partial denture was presented as a successful treatment for a situation demonstrating posterior maxillary segmental collapse.
