Dental restoration with implants and zirconia prostheses

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

In preparation for comprehensive dental prosthetic rehabilitation, 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.

Temporary prosthetic restorations were fabricated and placed during the implant healing period, allowing the restoration of chewing function and smile aesthetics. Six months later, implant osseointegration and the condition of the surrounding soft tissues were assessed.

After successful implant integration, permanent implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation was performed. Zirconia prostheses supported by titanium bars were fabricated and secured, restoring the dental arches in both jaws.

Result: comprehensive prosthetic rehabilitation of both jaws was completed. Permanent zirconia prostheses supported by Straumann implants restored chewing function, the shape of the dental arches, and the natural aesthetics of the smile.
