Abstract

Replacement of multiple missing teeth mainly in the Kennedy's class I and class II condition is a challenge for the clinician and the patient in terms of retention, masticatory efficiency, esthetics, comfort and importantly economics. Here, a case using implants in the distal denture bearing area with ball atttachments and fabricating a cast partial denture over it utilizing the best of all benefits has been presented.
