In this case, long-term tooth loss in the lower jaw led not only to the inability to chew food properly but also to bite dysfunction, overload of the temporomandibular joints, and changes in the proportions of the lower third of the face.
Therefore, treatment required a comprehensive approach involving a gnathologist, implant surgeon, and prosthodontist.
After CBCT imaging and digital 3D planning, full rehabilitation of the lower jaw was performed using the All-on-6 concept on Straumann BLX Roxolid implants.
An individual surgical navigation guide was used for precise implant placement.
A temporary fixed prosthesis with artificial gum was secured on the day of surgery, allowing immediate restoration of aesthetics and chewing function.
Six months after successful osseointegration, the temporary restoration was replaced with a permanent zirconia prosthesis on an individual titanium bar with screw retention.
Result:
Teeth in the lower jaw, chewing function, proper occlusal relationships, and smile aesthetics were restored.
The patient received a stable fixed restoration and the ability to eat comfortably without restrictions.
In cases of complete tooth loss in one jaw, modern implant protocols make it possible to restore function and aesthetics even with severe tissue atrophy.
