Fixed prosthesis of an ectodermal dysplasia patient with total anodontia using maxillary zygomatic implants and mandibular nerve repositioning simultaneous with implant placement

Abstract

The use of short implants as a single tooth replacement has become quite common over the past several years. The recent European Consensus Conference on short implants has stated that short implants have the same predictability as traditional length implants. Recently, it was found that there are seven factors that are associated with crestal bone gain in single tooth implants. Among these factors are the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and the presence of an opposing natural tooth.
