[A prosthodontic concept using implants in the resorbed edentulous maxilla].

Year: 1997

Type: article

Abstract: For the treatment of the atrophic edentulous maxilla implant supported overdentures provide the opportunity to obtain proper lip support, speech and cleanliness. A superstructure with high rigidity is needed for an optimal distribution of occlusal loading, to ensure good prognosis for implant survival. A prosthodontic concept using a hybrid construction meets these criteria. It consists of a cast and precision-milled mesostructure fixed to the implants, over which that a removable cast prosthodontic device is placed to which the teeth are attached. It is essential to follow a strict treatment protocol to obtain a good and predictable result.
