Does Shelf preparation have an efficacy on primary stability of 4 implants supporting screw‐retained full arch fixed dental prosthesis ?

Full-arch maxillary rehabilitation fixed on 6 implants.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to report a case of full-arch rehabilitation on six endosseous implants loaded following the standard procedure. METHODS An implant-prosthetic treatment was proposed to a 53-year-old woman with a total prosthesis in the upper jaw. Six implants on upper maxillary were placed keeping the upper complete denture during the osseointegration period. The implan...

Full-arch restoration of the jaw with fixed ceramometal prosthesis.

Between 1990 and 1995, 214 implants were placed in 29 maxillae and mandibles of 22 patients following extraction of all residual teeth as a consequence of severe periodontal disease. All patients were discharged wearing immediate dentures. The implants were analyzed with regard to the number per arch, location, length, and diameter. The 5-year cumulative survival rate was 98.5%. The mean number...

A Retrospective Clinical Study Evaluating Full-arch Monolithic Zirconia Implant Supported Fixed Dental Prosthesis

Prosthodontic Procedures for an Implant-Supported Maxillary Full-Arch Fixed Prosthesis Opposing Mandibular Implant- Supported Fixed Prostheses

The maxillary full-arch implant-supported fixed prosthesis represents a challenge due to the structural limitations of the existing premaxillary ridge and maxillary sinus. Prior to initiating implant treatment, it is critical to consider the necessary clinical and laboratory procedures needed to obtain an optimal level of patient and clinician satisfaction. Consideration must be given to establ...

Full-arch fixed prosthetics supported by dental implants and natural teeth: planning, provisionalization, treatment sequences: 2 case examples.

When a patient presents with a partially edentulous arch, fixed res-toration of the arch supported by dental implants and natural teeth requires proper planning and provisionalization. First, information must be obtained to help plan the case for function and aesthetics. Study models must be articulated so that the present occlusal relationship can be analyzed. Diagnostic wax-ups and intraoral ...
