A Novel Approach for Immediate Implant-Based Oral Rehabilitation in a Sjögren's Syndrome Patient Using Virtual Surgical and Prosthetic Planning.

Patients with Sjögren syndrome (SS) experience difficulties in wearing conventional dentures. After removal of all teeth, the oral rehabilitation is challenging and time consuming using conventional treatment protocols. Although implant-retained overdentures are beneficial for this specific patient group, the average total oral rehabilitation time (TORT) usually takes at least 9 months and needs to be reduced to increase patients' quality of life (QoL).

Digital implantological workflow for a CAD/CAM immediate long-term temporary restoration for the edentulous maxilla.

The rehabilitation of the edentulous jaw using angulated implants and screw-retained retrievable fixed prosthetic dentures is a well-established treatment method. Possible advantages include the option to avoid bone augmentation, to provide an immediate long-term provisional restoration, and, where appropriate, to perform a minimally invasive procedure. A variety of prosthodontic solutions are available for the definitive restoration, not least allowing the patient's financial situation to be accommodated.
