ABSTRACT
Background: In unimaxillary complete removable prosthesis (PACU), prosthetic rehabilitations are sometimes difficult, especially in the presence of an unfavourable osteomucosal environment, preventing the placement of the prosthesis. Indeed, an important crepe hypertrophy imposes a surgical arrangement of the useful prosthetic space, because this anatomical obstacle constrains the practitioner to harmful compromises for the bio-functional, aesthetic and psychological integration of the future prosthesis. Objectives: To respond to the problems thus posed, the practitioner must focus his efforts on the three essential points: analysis of the case, establishment of the treatment plan, creation of an adapted occlusal scheme and therapeutic followed.Conclusions: Detailed by a clinical case, this article highlights the interest of the study and the preprosthetic preparations in the aesthetic success of a rehabilitation by unimaxillary complete removable prosthesis (PACU). Keywords: unimaxillary complete removable prosthesis, crepe hypertrophy.
