Özet It is aimed to reorganize aesthetics, phonation and function in prosthetic treatments. Pre-treatment patient demands and post-treatment complaints may affect their priority order. In the first case report; The treatment of a 55-year-old female case of complete edentulism with implant-supported overdenture prosthesis with lower and upper (upper 4, lower 3 implants) was described. The treatment of the patient, whose treatment was completed with a protocol different from the conventional steps, was completed using a pantographic recorder and a fully adjustable articulator programmed with the angular values of the dynamic data of the joint. In the second case report; The treatment of a 65-year-old female patient who wanted the replacement of her existing prostheses with a total prosthesis in the edentulous upper jaw and an implant-supported overdenture prosthesis in the lower jaw was described. The treatment was completed with a protocol similar to the first case report. The pink and white aesthetics obtained in the final prostheses of both cases are satisfactory. However, despite the final aesthetics of the prostheses, early contacts in articulation led to dissatisfaction. In both cases, after the delivery of the dentures, the patients complained that their dentures were displaced in certain tooth contacts. In order to provide the necessary dynamic stability, dynamic facet repairs were performed with direct intraoral detection in both case reports. Dynamic stability was achieved at the end of 6 weeks in case 1 and at the time of delivery in case 2.
