This clinical report highlights some of the problems in providing a suitable prosthesis for a patient who suffers from systemic sclerosis. A conventional removable partial denture may not have been suitable because of the lack of denture bearing area, changing peripheral seal, and insufficient teeth to support and retain the denture. An implant-retained FPD overcame these difficulties. One would hope that, with regular maintenance and monitoring, quoted prosthesis success of 15 years can be achieved.
