We report a case of restoration of the masticatory and phonetic functions of a senior patient with comorbidities who receives systemic medication and lacks sufficient bone volume for implant placement in the accurate position. X-ray shows severe asymmetric atrophy of the mandible, especially on the right sight, which affects the location of the mandibular canal. This greatly limits and complicates the restoration of the masticatory and phonetic functions with conventional prostheses. Adequate management of medication and long-term disease control of the patient allow safe surgery for tooth extraction and placement of intraosseous implants in the jaw bones.
