The aim in the present case report was re-establish stomatology system functions by conventional mixed dental prosthesis for recovering altered vertical dimension. Clinical case: A 64 years old male patient with upper partial edentulism, Kennedy class II-1 and also lower partial edentulism but Kennedy class II. Patient’s chief complaint was dental wearing and an evident oclusal vertical dimension loss. Endodontic treatment was done focusing it in dental prosthetic rehabilitation. Thus therapeutic vertical dimension was reestablished with fixed and removal dental prosthesis. Later, definitive dental therapeutic rehabilitation was attained with fixed and conventional removable dental prosthesis. That mixed dental rehabilitation is an alternative which recovers and maintains oclusal vertical dimension through the time.

Keywords : Vertical dimension; partial fixed denture; partial removable denture.
