Edentulism was always a challenge for a proshodontist till recent and all measures were taken to retain even few teeth to evade edentulism. But now with the introduction of all-on-six, all-on-four and latest all-on-three implant concepts suddenly everyone is converting partially dentulous arches to complete edentulous arches. Does this changing trend meet the essence of prosthodontics which says, ‘’ preserve what remains and then replace what is missing ‘’.. This presentation includes few partially edentulous cases where the dilemma was whether to save remaining teeth and rehabilitate or do complete extraction followed by implant rehabilitation.
