Rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla after the failure of an implant-supported bar.

Dental implants provide patients with multiple restorative options for the complete edentulous maxilla. This article describes a technique for restoration of the edentulous maxilla with a tissue-implant-supported overdenture after the mechanical failure of an implant-supported bar. This technique allows the clinician to use the existing restoration with better distribution of the occlusal load between the implants and the supporting tissues.

A novel technique using a coded healing abutment for the fabrication of a CAD/CAM titanium abutment for an implant-supported restoration.

This article describes the use of CAD/CAM titanium abutments for restoring dental implants. This new system incorporates both advantages of modern technology and a simplified impression technique with a coded healing abutment.

A prosthetic solution to restoring the edentulous mandible with limited interarch space using an implant-tissue-supported overdenture: a clinical report.

An implant-retained overdenture retained with 2 implants placed in the anterior edentulous mandible is a simple and predictable treatment option. The fabrication and use of this prosthesis requires satisfactory interarch space for adequate denture base thickness and esthetics. This clinical report describes the use of low-profile attachments for this overdenture design to solve the problem of limited interarch space.
