Full-mouth rehabilitation of upper and lower jaws with computer-guided flapless surgery and immediate loading of implants inserted and mastication analysis

Abstract

ABSTRACT Although a number of approaches to implant-supported restoration of severely atrophic maxillae and mandibles have been developed, most of these treatments are expensive and protracted. An exception is the concept, which uses only guided implant surgeries and immediate loading with a hybrid, screw-retained provisional prosthesis delivered on implant placement, followed by a definitive hybrid prosthesis later. The present article describes full-arch rehabilitations using implant-supported prostheses and analyzes the functional efficacy of the treatment done by mastication analysis. This innovative technique allows for full-arch implant-supported prosthesis without the need for any bone grafting procedures even in atrophic situations and immediate function. In this technique, four or six or more implants are placed in the jaws, immediately loaded with temporalization, and put into function.
