Sjögren syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disorder with xerostomia, increased tooth wear, high rates of caries, and repeated failure of dental restorations as the main oral symptoms. These render the prosthetic treatment challenging. This clinical report describes a contemporary approach to the treatment of a patient with Sjögren syndrome using translucent multilayered monolithic zirconia restorations and focuses on the treatment protocols before, during, and after the prosthetic treatment.

- Fabrication of complete dentures can be difficult for patients with epulis fissuratum in the upper jaw or significant bone loss in the lower jaw.
- This clinical report details the surgical and prosthetic approach taken for a patient dealing with these two issues.
- The neutral zone technique was utilized to enhance the fit and stability of the lower denture, with both dentures being made before surgery and placed right after the removal of the epulis fissuratum.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different implant angulations and attachment configurations on the retentive forces of locator attachment-retained overdentures over a simulated time period of 6 months.
Materials And Methods: Two acrylic resin models (models 1 and 2) were fabricated to represent an edentulous mandible. In model 1, the midline implant (in the central region) was vertical and the other two implants (in the canine regions) were 20 degrees divergent from the midline, reaching a total divergence of 40 degrees.
