Edentulism, the loss of all the natural teeth, significantly impacts a patient's functional, aesthetic, and psychological well-being. Traditional dentures often fail to provide the required stability and functionality. Implant-supported full-mouth rehabilitation has emerged as an advanced solution, leveraging strategically placed dental implants to support fixed prostheses that mimic natural teeth in appearance and function. This case report details the comprehensive treatment of a 78-year-old male patient with complete edentulism, utilizing six implants in both the maxillary and mandibular arches. Following a five-month healing period, a series of precise prosthetic procedures, including abutment-level impressions, custom tray fabrication, and implant-level impressions, were performed to ensure optimal fit and functionality. The final prostheses provided significant improvements in masticatory efficiency, speech, and overall quality of life. The report underscores the transformative potential of implant-supported rehabilitation, highlighting high success rates, patient satisfaction, and the multifaceted benefits of restoring oral function and aesthetics with advanced dental technologies.
无牙颌,即所有天然牙缺失,会对患者的功能、美观及心理健康产生重大影响。传统假牙往往无法提供所需的稳定性和功能性。种植体支持的全口修复已成为一种先进的解决方案,通过策略性植入的牙种植体来支持固定修复体,使其在外观和功能上模仿天然牙。本病例报告详细介绍了一名78岁完全无牙颌男性患者的综合治疗过程,在上颌和下颌弓均植入了六颗种植体。经过五个月的愈合期后,进行了一系列精确的修复程序,包括基台水平印模、定制托盘制作和种植体水平印模,以确保最佳的贴合度和功能性。最终的修复体在咀嚼效率、言语功能和整体生活质量方面有了显著改善。该报告强调了种植体支持修复的变革潜力,突出了高成功率、患者满意度以及采用先进牙科技术恢复口腔功能和美观的多方面益处。
