Description
Summary:	The Angle's class II malocclusion patient challenges the prosthodontist because optimal treatment may include orthodontic therapy, orthognathic surgery, periodontics, and fixed or removable prosthodontics. Compromises in the treatment plan are necessary when patients cannot accept optimal dental treatment. However, specific prosthodontic principles should be observed. This article discusses Angle's class II malocclusions, including the theories and therapies to treat patients with this malrelationship successfully. Prosthodontic management of the malocclusion is an adjunct to other care rendered.
