ABSTRACT
Introduction: bruxism is a disorder that causes serious damage to the stomatognathic system, particularly the denture. Dental extraction causes progressive bony reabsorption of the residual alveolar rims, and this causes loss of retention and mismatches of dental prostheses. However, there are more conservative treatments that allow to keep the roots in the mouth and remaining teeth and guarantee the patient's adaptation to prostheses. Objective: to present the case of an older adult patient diagnosed with eccentric bruxism, with great loss of dental substance, rehabilitated by using partial overlay denture as a valid option for oral rehabilitation. Case presentation: a 70-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension, ischemic heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. He was remitted from the basic stomatological services to the multidisciplinary prosthesis consultation of the Teaching Stomatological Clinic of Ciego de Ávila, to define the rehabilitation treatment appropriate to his case. Given the surgical risks presented, it was decided to preserve all the teeth in the mouth and perform pulporradicular treatments to support a removable partial overlay denture. Currently he carries his prosthesis in a satisfactory way and his quality of life has improved. Conclusions: due to the considerable loss of dental substance caused by bruxism, the best option for this patient was conservative treatment and the use of a removable partial overlay denture. This allowed the patient to improve the quality of life and it was demonstrated that it is a valid option of oral rehabilitation in these cases.REFERENCES
