Dental restoration with zirconia prostheses and Straumann implants

The patient presented with complaints of tooth loss in the upper and lower jaws, mobility of the remaining teeth, and an aesthetic defect of the smile. Generalized grade II–III periodontitis, dentofacial deformities, and loss of chewing efficiency were diagnosed.

During the surgical stage, non-restorable teeth were extracted, and Straumann implants were placed in both jaws: in the regions of teeth 1.5, 1.2, 2.2, and 2.5 in the upper jaw, and 3.5, 3.2, 4.2, and 4.5 in the lower jaw.

After implant placement, temporary prostheses were installed to restore smile aesthetics and chewing function during the implant healing period. Six months later, implant osseointegration and the condition of the surrounding soft tissues were assessed, followed by permanent implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation: zirconia prostheses supported by titanium bars were fabricated and secured.

Result: the dental arches in both jaws, chewing function, and smile aesthetics were restored. The patient received permanent zirconia prostheses supported by Straumann implants.
