Implant prosthodontic treatment options for the edentulous patient

Abstract

Longitudinally documented benefits for edentulous patients of treatment outcomes of the osseointegration technique demonstrate compelling therapeutic results. Heterogeneous population groups, treated in different centres by various dental specialists, have provided impressive evidence of a minimal burden of illness associated with the procedure. A critical appraisal of the many components of any implemented treatment paradigm demands repeated analysis of the factors which enable patients' informed consent and dentists' optimal decision making. This paper reviews those salient aspects which impact upon decision making with implant-supported prostheses. It emphasizes the predominance of bone structure in selecting the most likely favourable treatment outcome.

Rehabilitation of a Patient with Immediate Complete Denture

“…2 Four months later, patients' complains of poor retention were addressed while fabricating a new set of dentures. Being one of the most important disadvantages of unpredictable esthetics as there was no try-in, the denture esthetics was not as good as that was expected.…”

“…Also, speech and mastication are not compromised and nutrition can be maintained. 1,2 A well-made immediate complete denture acts as a splint over the surgical site and protects the wound against the injury of food and opposing teeth. 2 Therefore, there is less postoperative pain.…”

“…1,2 A well-made immediate complete denture acts as a splint over the surgical site and protects the wound against the injury of food and opposing teeth. 2 Therefore, there is less postoperative pain. The drawback of an immediate denture is that the final esthetic results may be questionable due to the inability to take an anterior try-in.…”

“…Also, the retention and stability may not be as good as that of the conventional complete denture. [2][3][4] It is due to these technical difficulties that immediate complete dentures are considered as an Interim prosthesis. 1 They may require relining or a new set of dentures may need to be fabricated within a short period of time.…”
