Abstract
Physical factors and intra- and extra-oral factors of a patient have to be considered in order to decide a treatment plan for the skeletal class III malocclusion patient. Most of cases, the pre-prosthodontic treatment requires the orthodontic approaches and maxillofacial surgery. However, in some cases, patients' economic or medical condition makes impracticable situation for the orthodontic or surgical intervention. For those cases, the compromised prosthetic treatment which provides more stable and persistent occlusal stabilization is recommended. In this case report, a woman patient has a skeletal class III maxillomandibular relationship and misses multiple teeth. The prosthetic treatment without orthodontic and surgical intervention is performed due to her physical problem. The functional and esthetic results are achieved by the fixed prosthesis.
