Customized Implant Full-Mouth Rehabilitation: A Biomechanical Depiction

Contemp Clin Dent. 2018 Jul-Sep;9(3):488-493. doi: 10.4103/ccd.ccd_121_18.

Abstract

The rationale for implant full-mouth rehabilitation is believed to present the better quality of life to the older population. This type of modalities preserves the soft and hard tissue of oral cavity. It is also helpful to check the temporomandibular joint disease. Literature exposes that implant full-mouth fixed rehabilitation is one of the taxing procedures in the field of prosthodontics. The current clinical report discusses a customized biomechanical approach for the fabrication of implant complete-mouth rehabilitation. A systematic approach in managing this patient can lead to a predictable and favorable prognosis. This article also presents the stages of prosthodontic rehabilitation from diagnosis to final treatment planning as a customized radiographical Gutta Percha template, precise implant surgery of 12 implants (ADIN, Dental Implant System, Israel) over the both the arches and provisional restorations with group function occlusion. Lastly, full-mouth restorations were fabricated as cement-retained (open hole) metal-ceramic restoration. Advocated patient is absolutely happy with customized implant full-mouth rehabilitation.
