Abstract :

A patient with several missing teeth in the anterior aesthetic region along with ridge defect poses a greater challenge for prosthodontic rehabilitation. In such cases treatment using fixed partial denture (FPD) may not be feasible because of the extent of edentulous span and the periodontal conditions of the abutment teeth. This case report aims to present a case with multiple missing mandibular anterior teeth along with large soft tissue and hard tissue defect. The fixed removable Andrew�s idge system provides a good prognosis if diagnosed and planned meticulously.
