Case facts

Patient: 

Male patient in their 60s with failing teeth in both jaws in need of extraction.

Clinical problem: 

Failing teeth in both jaws in need of extraction. Post-extraction and healing, severe atrophy of the upper and lower jaw with reduced bone volumes both horizontally and vertically and little adherent gingiva in the lower arch is seen.

Clinical solution:

Extraction of teeth and placement of four implants in the lower jaw for immediate full-arch rehabilitation.

Treatment plan: 

Extraction of 6 teeth with immediate placement of four Neoss ProActive Tapered implants with Multi-Unit Abutments in the lower jaw. Adding a provisional screw-retained bridge during preparation of final prothesis. 

Products: 

4 Neoss ProActive Tapered implants
2 Multi-Unit Abutment 3.0 mm
2 Multi-Unit Abutment 30° 3.0 mm
4 Multi-Unit Impression coping Open tray 6 mm
4 Multi-Unit Healing Cap

Conlusion:

The patient received the screw-retained bridge in the lower jaw 48 hours after surgery. In the upper jaw the patient was rehabilitated with a removable prosthesis. Patient to comeback for final prosthesis and full-arch treatment of upper jaw at a later date.

Step by step

Step by step

  • Sicuro MUA case fig 1
    Figure 1.

    Pre-treatment panoramic radiograph. The patient had conventional, tooth-supported bridges in both jaws. All teeth were failing and in need of extraction.

  • Sicuro MUA case fig 2
    Figure 2.

    Post-extractive panoramic radiograph. The patient had severe atrophy of the upper and lower jaws, little attached gingiva in the lower arch with reduced bone volumes both horizontally and vertically.

  • Sicuro MUA case fig 3
    Figure 3.

    Panoramic radiograph at time of implant placement, four months after extraction. Four Neoss ProActive Tapered implants were placed in the lower jaw. The two posterior implants were tilted to minimize bridge cantilevers.

  • Sicuro MUA case fig 4
    Figure 4.

    Neoss Multi-Unit abutments were placed at the time of implant placement . Angulated (30°) Multi-Unit abutments were used on the tilted posterior implants, and straight Multi-Unit abutments were used on the anterior implants.

  • Sicuro MUA case fig 5
    Figure 5.

    A conventional impression was taken after tissue closure at time of surgery. Open impression technique and Multi-Unit Impression Copings Open tray were used.

  • Sicuro MUA case fig 6
    Figure 6.

    Impression acquired immediately after surgery.

  • Sicuro MUA case fig 7
    Figure 7.

    Multi-Unit Abutment Healing Caps were placed on the Multi-Unit abutments, and the soft tissue repositioned and sutured around the Healing Caps to achieve more attached gingiva on the buccal side.

  • Sicuro MUA case fig 8
    Figure 8.

    The model was scanned and a provisional full-arch restoration designed using CAD. Note the parallel interfaces achieved using angulated Multi-Unit abutments.

  • Sicuro MUA case fig 9
    Figure 9.

    The dental laboratory milled a provisional screw-retained bridge from reinforced PMMA and bonded onto Multi-Unit Provisional Abutments.

    Try-in of the provisional bridge on the model. Facial view.

  • Sicuro MUA case fig 11
    Figure 11.

    Try-in of the provisional bridge on the model. Occlusal view. Note the short cantilevers achieved using tilted posterior implants.

  • Sicuro MUA case fig 12
    Figure 12.

    The patient received the screw-retained bridge in the lower jaw 48 hours after surgery. In the upper jaw the patient was rehabilitated with a removable prosthesis.

  • Sicuro MUA case fig 13

    Facial view of the patient with prostheses in place.

"I have used Neoss4+ solutions for more than 10 years and every day me and my team are happy to do surgery and deliver prostheses. The new Neoss Multi-Unit Abutment makes the Neoss4+ concept even more accessible, flexible and simplified."
