Oral Rehabilitation and Management of the Patient with Terminal Dentition: Clinical and Laboratory Case After 3 Years of Follow-up

Authors: Francisco García Torres, Antonio Corradini, Eric Sánchez

Published in: Current Oral Health Reports | Issue 3/2021

Abstract

Purpose of Review

This article describes the clinical management of a patient who had a severely damaged dentition due to periodontal disease for several years.

Recent Findings

The following clinical case is developed from the integral and global aspect, including surgical conditioning, implant placement and the elaboration of a prosthetic prototype that can give a successful outcome for the definitive restoration. A full series of a diagnostic workup was made, and a treatment plan specific to the needs of the patient was laid out, with an emphasis on the difficulty of the management of these types of patients in which a dental practice is familiar with.

Summary

There are complications on these rehabilitations due to the severe damage of the dentition with extensive osseous atrophies that make a challenging situation in order to provide a comfortable, esthetic and functional rehabilitation. Implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis is a well-accepted treatment option for edentulism. Loss of teeth due to extensive caries or severe periodontitis presents a challenge to the clinicians.

J EsthetRestor Dent. 2019;31(3):179–89 [s. l.] In complex cases, digital technology today offers outstanding improvements and simplifications in craniomaxillofacial surgery and prosthetic treatments, leading to a wide range of planning and pretreatment options. Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing technology enables the fabrication of tooth-colored flexible polycarbonate splints that offer a noninvasive, removable, functional, and esthetic solution. In intricate cases involving craniomaxillofacial anomalies, often together with necessary orofacial surgeries or prosthetic treatments due to moderate to severe tooth wear, such digital preprosthetic treatment and planning options represent an important enhancement with more predictable results.

There is an increasing number of patients today who are affected by excessive tooth wear and may benefit from these kinds of treatments.
