Fulltext PDFThis case report highlights the successful rehabilitation of a patient with a Kennedy Class I edentulous space utilizing Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technology coupled with Saggix extra-coronal attachments. The patient presented with aposteriorly bilateral edentulous space bounded by natural teeth anteriorly, necessitating a prosthetic solution that could deliver optimal retention, stability, comfort, and aesthetics. The final restoration achieved an excellent fit, harmonious occlusion, and natural esthetics, meeting the functional and aesthetic demands of the patient. Clinical evaluation revealed enhanced stability and comfort compared to conventional partial dentures, attributed to the customized design and secure retention provided by Saggix attachments. Furthermore, the utilization of DMLS technology facilitated rapid fabrication with minimal material waste, underscoring its efficiency and sustainability in prosthodontic practice. This case report demonstrates the transformative potential of integrating digital dentistry and innovative materials in the rehabilitation of Kennedy Class I edentulous spaces. Both traditional and modern treatment approaches and planning are necessary for this kind of success.
