Prosthetic, orthodontic and implant-supported rehabilitation of five maxillary anterior teeth with alveolar bone loss

Abstract

Introduction: Treatment of maxillofacial injuries is complex and requires the establishment of a comprehensive and accurate diagnosis and correct treatment planning. Objective: The objective of this case report was to describe the re-treatment of a 27-year-old woman who was involved in a severe car accident that resulted in the loss of five anterior teeth and alveolar bone, and whose previous orthodontic and surgical treatments had been unsuccessful. Case report: In this case, the space for the missing mandibular molar was reopened to allow for rehabilitation. The positions of the mandibular incisors were improved. The right mandibular canine was moved to the mesial, allowing for correction of the Class II canine relationship on that side, and implants were placed to replace the maxillary anterior teeth. Conclusion: Anterior aesthetic and functional rehabilitation using a multidisciplinary approach was essential to improve the patient’s facial aesthetics, to obtain great improvement in function and to achieve occlusal stability after 2 years of follow-up.

Dental anomalies of a child with incontinentia pigmenti: Case report

“…Normally, in cases of agenesis of the permanent teeth, root resorption of primary teeth does not occur, which can determine a longer permanence of the deciduous teeth (Aktan et al, 2012). In cases of loss of primary teeth without a permanent successor, treatment with space maintainers, prostheses or implants will be necessary (Nadelman et al, 2020;Guariza-Filho et al, 2018). Due to the patient's young age, it is expected to keep primary teeth as long as possible or at least until the patient reaches maturity to undergo more extensive treatments.…”
