Synopsis
Many potential candidates for implant restoration of the fully edentulous maxilla and or mandible are primarily interested in a fixed restoration as opposed to a bar/clip overdenture. While there are many factors to consider in the pre-treatment work-up, there is an advantage of being able to determine early in the consultation process the feasibility of a fixed restoration before significant time is invested in diagnostic procedures. This presentation examines three critical factors necessary to provide a fixed restoration that are able to be used as a screening mechanism to determine the possibility of a fixed implant restoration and likelihood of necessary bone grafting procedures to achieve the desired outcome.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
- Identify pre-treatment evaluation & determination of the final type of fixed prosthesis;
- Identify prosthetic and surgical protocol in treatment of the edentulous maxilla and mandible; and
- Identify the pros and cons of the presentation of Computer guided surgery.
