Cone Beam Computed Tomography [CBCT] is a newer dental imaging which helps in planning implant position and selection of the length and width of the implant to be used. It can also clearly demarcate or relate the relationship of vital structures to planned implant position. This case report describesa systematic approach to a CBCT based implant planning and surgical guidance. The easy steps, result in transferring the accurate detail to the surgical site and there by achieving success.
A prosthesis should fulfill the needs of the patient and also meet the biological, mechanical, and esthetic considerations.Among the various methods of oral rehabilitation, precision attachments are viable alternative to connect fixed (FDP) and cast partial dentures (CPD).Precision attachment partial dentures have been used successfully on natural tooth abutments.The advantages of attachment retained CPD are improvements in appearance by virtue of its design without a clasp assembly and renders improved biomechanics.There are significant number of patients who could benefit from this treatment option. The proposed article is a case report which is intended to provide an overview of a simplified approach to this treatment modality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
