**continuation from previous post**
The patient’s main concern was his inability to be able to chew food due to losing multiple upper teeth in the back from “cavities” and gum disease. A course of LANAP with a periodontist had been performed (along with many OHI sessions) to help optimize and stabilize patient’s gum health. The desire to preserve all existing teeth and to be able to chew ASAP was strong so after discussion we went with the removable route. By doing removable first also helps the dental provider to assess patient’s ability to maintain his oral hygiene long-term before going to the fixed route. Overall, functionally, patient was very pleased. Meanwhile, I was impressed by the progress made in the oral hygiene.
