Abstract

The crown height space has a vital role in the rehabilitation of patients using dental implants. It determines the prosthetic treatment options as well as the outcome for the patients. There are various ways of creating crown height space. This case report presents a situation where management of a case with reduced crown height space was performed.

Keywords: cement-retained prosthesis; coronoplasty; crown height space; dental implant; screw-retained prosthesis
