Possibilities of implant-prosthetic treatment of toothless patients

Modern implantology today needs to respond to the patient's demands from the functional and aesthetic aspect and to make a compromise between the patient's wishes, medical indication and the therapist's training.

The patient's wishes play a large role in the choice of treatment when there is more than one possible option. However, based on the analysis of the CBCT image and the clinical examination, we get a relatively clear idea of the therapeutic options and the optimal solution for the patient.

It should be borne in mind that after tooth extraction, bone and soft tissue morphological changes occur, so several therapeutic options will be shown depending on the amount of available bone. We will analyze situations when we have the possibility of installing the maximum number of implants, but also situations when it is necessary to perform augmentation procedures and a sinus lift in order to create the conditions for implant installation. Cases will also be presented when zygomatic implants are installed due to a lack of bone tissue and, accordingly, adequate prosthetic solutions.
