    Transition from failing dentition to complete-arch implant rehabilitation with a staged approach: A 3-year clinical report

    No full text
    The transition of patients from failing dentition to complete-arch implant rehabilitation often means that the patient is rendered edentulous and has to wear a removable complete denture for a time. Many patients find this objectionable. A staged treatment approach provides a fixed interim prosthesis for use throughout the rehabilitation process, allowing patient comfort and prosthodontic control. This clinical report describes a staged approach protocol with a new type of interim prosthesis. The prosthesis is supported by hopeless teeth and the soft tissues of the maxillary tuberosities and mandibular retromolar pads for the complete-arch implant rehabilitation of a patient with failing dentition. This protocol allows for a fixed interim prosthesis with combined tooth and mucosa or implant support during the entire rehabilitation process, thus avoiding the use of complete dentures. The implants and prostheses were functioning successfully after 3 years of clinical service

    Complete-mouth implant rehabilitation with modified monolithic zirconia implant-supported fixed dental prostheses and an immediate-loading protocol: A clinical report

    No full text
    This clinical report describes complete- mouth implant rehabilitation with modified monolithic zirconia FDPs. The framework was designed with monolithic zirconia occlusal surfaces to minimize the possibility of chipping of veneering porcelain, and the veneering porcelain was applied only on the facial surfaces to improve the esthetic outcome. The prostheses provided satisfactory function and esthetics after 1 year of service. Further long-term clinical studies of monolithic zirconia frameworks are necessary to compare the outcomes with other designs of zirconia-based FDPs. © 2013 by the Editorial Council for The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry
