Clinical case: implant placement and implant-supported prosthetics

During diagnostics, deep caries of the front teeth was detected, along with slight wear of the lower front teeth due to malocclusion, and the lower sixth teeth were missing on both sides.The roots of the teeth that had previously served as supports for bridges on the upper jaw were destroyed and had to be removed; cystogranulomas were also found in the area of these teeth.

We proposed the following treatment plan:
Treatment of caries and aesthetic restoration of the front teeth. Removal of the destroyed teeth and placement of 4 implants in the upper jaw and 2 implants in the lower jaw at the sites of the missing teeth, followed by restoration of the missing teeth with E-max lithium disilicate crowns. Both the implants and the upper front teeth would be restored with these crowns, while the lower front teeth would be left unchanged because they were completely healthy.

        STAGE 1
        
Examination and diagnosticsThe doctor examined the patient, performed CT diagnostics, and created a treatment plan. After agreeing on the treatment plan with the patient, treatment began.

        STAGE 2
        
Caries treatmentCaries in the front teeth was treated, and complete oral cavity sanitation was performed before the surgical procedure. Six front teeth were restored with composite materials in one visit together with the caries treatment. This allowed the patient to feel comfortable socially after treatment. The incisal edge of the lower front teeth, which had been slightly damaged due to overload, was also polished.

        STAGE 3
        
Implant placementThe destroyed tooth roots in the upper jaw were removed. Six implants were placed immediately after tooth extraction. Local anesthesia was used. After the surgery, the patient was released for 3 months.
