Treatment planning in full lower arch immediate-loading prosthesis associated to conventional upper prosthesis

Full arch implant-supported prostheses following Branemark protocol are widely used for oral rehabilitation of people with edentulous jaws and associated to the full upper conventional prosthesis. Their indication requires that the dental surgeon be prepared for prosthetic-surgical approach and planning. Therefore, this work aims to present the planning and execution of a lower arch implant-supported immediate-load prosthesis associated to a conventional upper prosthesis through a clinical case report. Previous planning on the installation of the implants aims at the proper fixation after defining the prosthesis design. Predictability of results and patient satisfaction demonstrate how important this planning is.
