Abstract

3 implants were placed in the region of the spaces of teeth 21 and 22 and reestablished the Roy Polygon in association with natural teeth of other plans. In the second case, 3 implants were installed and added to the natural teeth, in a type of implant-supported denture based on force distribution on the Roy Polygon. It is important to point out that, in the first case, the treatment options were: isolation of posterior teeth (total crown), bone graft, and cantilevers of two previous teeth (11 and 12) or 6-element partial removable denture (PRD). In the second case, a class I PRD could have been fabricated, with tooth 14 being a direct pillar with 1:1 crown/root ratio, and separation of the segments. The construction of implant-supported or tooth-supported dentures alone was not compatible with the patient's economical conditions. Therefore, it is important that dental examination includes evaluation of the type of pillar, soft tissue and bone support to be used. Situations similar to those reported in these cases may appear in the clinical practice and will raise the question: prosthesis with toothimplantation union "cannot or should not" be used as solutions in certain cases oral rehabilitation?
