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

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