Evidence‐Based Criteria for Differential Treatment Planning of Implant Restorations for the Mandibular Edentulous Patient

Abstract

Since the introduction of the ad modum Branemark prototype prosthesis for the mandibular edentulous patient more than 30 years ago, design permutations have met clinician and patient considerations. Dental student training and specialist continuing education often rely on anecdotal reports of success to determine the recommended design for patients. Decision-making algorithms for treatment are optimally predicated on the best available evidence. The purpose of this article is to elucidate the benefit/risk calculus of various implant modalities for the mandibular edentulous patient.

Patient satisfaction and oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) of conventional denture, fixed prosthesis and milled bar overdenture for All‐on‐4 implant rehabilitation. A crossover study

“…In contrast, the retrievability of MB facilitates oral hygiene performance by the patient. In addition, the flanges of the overdenture could be used to facilitate handling and cleaning (Sadowsky & Hansen, ). In this study, cleaning of the CD was rated also better than FP.…”

“…Milled bar overdentures (MB) are purely implant-supported and have clinical advantages similar to those of fixed prostheses with prosthodontic advantages of the removable dentures (Sadowsky, Fitzpatrick, & Curtis, 2015;Sadowsky & Hansen, 2014;Wright, Glantz, Randow, & Watson, 2002). MB behave biomechanically as fixed implant restorations because of the guiding planes of the milled bar, which decreases rotational movement and incidence of prosthodontic maintenance (Krennmair, Krainhofner, & Piehslinger, 2007, 2008a, 2008bKrennmair, Sütö, Seemann, & Piehslinger, 2012).…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] However, there are risk factors to consider that may affect and impair the osseointegration of the implant. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] However, there are risk factors to consider that may affect and impair the osseointegration of the implant.…”

Maxillary and mandibular immediately loaded implant-supported interim complete fixed dental prostheses on immediately placed dental implants with a digital approach: A clinical report

“…Bone reductions were simulated on the merged file to provide a minimal restorative space of 14 mm between the plane of simulated bone reductions and the antagonist occlusal plane on the virtual diagnostic tooth arrangement for the future planned prostheses. 31,32 A surgical plan (Fig. 3) was formulated for computerguided implantation surgery, and a proprietary CAD/ CAM design and methodology (Center for Advanced Dentistry; nSequence) was used for the 2-piece surgical templates (CT Guided Surgery; nSequence); this included a bone reduction template with lateral fixation pin access and an implant placement template (Fig.…”
