Implant-supported prosthodontic rehabilitation of total edentulism remains the most complex restorative challenges. The main reason being the number of variables that affect both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the prosthesis. A hybrid denture or the ‘Toronto prosthesis’ is one that is fabricated over a metal framework and retained by screws threaded into implants. This article presents the fabrication of implant-retained maxillary Equator® attachment overdenture opposing mandibular implant-retained hybrid prosthesis. A total of four implants (Equinox® Myriad plus) were placed the maxillary arch and six implants (Equinox® Myriad plus) in the mandibular arch. The patient's occlusal vertical dimension, centric relation, aesthetics and phonetics were determined and maintained throughout the restorative process. This case report describes the management of a completely edentulous patient with a mandibular implant-supported fixed prosthesis and maxillary implant-retained overdenture with Equator® attachment.

This case report presents surgically assisted orthodontic treatment for an adult patient due to labial exostosis, prominent malar, and unesthetic chin. Her treatment was total arch distalization with modified C-palatal plate for maxillary arch and miniscrews for mandibular arch. In addition, she was treated with alveoloplasty, malarplasty, and genioplasty to improve the consistency of her profile. The total treatment duration was 28 months.

Oral rehabilitation with free-end removable partial denture (RPD) is one of the major challenges in prosthodontic dentistry. The absence of a distal abutment produces undesirable RPD movement during masticatory function due to the high resilience of the residual ridge, which limits the denture efficiency and may damage the abutment teeth and bone over time. The advent of dental implants made possible to substitute the missing teeth with fixed implant-supported dentures as the first choice treatment to overcome such inconveniences. However, this indication may not be suitable for all patients due to financial, anatomical or systemic health conditions. Nevertheless it is possible to improve free extension RPD by using implants in the posterior edentulous ridge to achieve biological, biomechanical, physiological and social benefits. This article aims to present a case report on oral rehabilitation in which a RPD was made combined with an implant for posterior support in a sizeable edentulous ridge. The patient appreciated the retention improvement and the aesthetic result. The combination of a RPD with a posterior implant is an alternative treatment for cases in which implant-supported fixed prosthesis is not indicated, reducing the displacement and minimizing the limitations of the free-end devices.

The replacement of a single maxillary central incisor is a unique prosthodontic challenge from esthetic as well as a functional point of view. Loss of anterior teeth with existing natural diastema presents problems such as increased mesiodistal space available for pontic which makes it very difficult to give conventional fixed prosthesis with rigid connector and wider pontics can be very unesthetic to look in the esthetic zone. This clinical situation is a major challenge for a prosthodontist; leaves him in a dilemma whether to close the space or to maintain it in a final fixed prosthesis simulating the natural tooth appearance. If implant-supported prosthesis is not possible fixed partial denture along with loop connector is the best solution to maintain the existing diastema and esthetics. This article presents a case report where fixed partial denture along with loop connector was used to achieve esthetic rehabilitation in maxillary anterior region maintaining natural existing diastema.

This case report describes the correction of a skeletal Class III malocclusion by performing alveoloplasty and All-on-four styletitanium/acrylic (hybrid) fixed/detachable implant supported prosthesis.  A 76-year-old Hispanic,female patient with a noncontributory medical history presented to the clinic with a chief complaint of “I cannot wear my upper partial denture, it keeps on breaking”. Intraoral examination revealed significant inter-arch Class III relation, supra-erupted mandibular dentition, and significant loss of the vertical dimension of occlusion. Surgical treatment included edentulation of the patient in addition to a significant mandibular alveoloplasty in order to correct the patient’s malocclusion prosthetically. Through proper planning and execution, a skeletal Class III relationship was corrected with an implant supported All-on-four maxillary/mandibular prostheses. An edge-to-edge incisal relationship was achieved along with an appropriate vertical dimension of occlusion. The preplanning protocol allowed determination of the required alveoloplasty in order to obtain sufficient restorative space to allow for the correction of the skeletal malocclusion prosthetically.

The restoration of the mandibular arch up to the first molars with 5 one-piece implants presents a viable and cost-effective treatment plan in patients with adequate bone volume and favorable ridge relationships. The early loading of the implants with a provisional restoration reduces the period of edentulousness and restores the patient's ability to eat, talk, and smile effectively. Implants in younger patients prevent resorption of the residual alveolar ridge. This article presents a case report of the restoration of an edentulous mandibular arch with an early loaded implant-supported fixed restoration in a young patient.
