Fabrication of maxillary single complete denture opposing deranged mandibular occlusion using customized broadrick occlusal plane analysis (BOPA): A case report

Abstract

Fabrication of a single complete denture (SCD) is a difficult especially when the opposing natural plane is deranged. There are various problem associated with opposing arch like Mal-aligned, attrition, tilted or supra-erupted teeth with makes it difficult to achieve balanced occlusion which is important for stability of the SCD. Primary objective of any restoration is to achieve harmonious occlusal plane to facilitate natural mandibular movements without interference and ease of mastication. This clinical report describes restoration of mandibular teeth (with severe attrition and deranged occlusion) by establishing normal plane of occlusion with the help of broadrick occlusal plane analysis (BOPA) followed by construction of a complete denture in maxillary arch with metal occlusion.
