Prosthetic options mandibular bridge?
Last Updated: Oct 28, 2020
This patient presented with a mandibular denture retained with 3 balls on failing natural roots. He has a history of heart stroke. The surgery was very difficult because of the excessive bleeding. I managed to place 7 Superline implants and I avoided the canine and second bicuspid socket because of periapical pathology. I did not graft the scokets beacuse I wanted to shorten surgery time. What do you think is the best option for the final bridge? A splinted bridge or 2 piece bridge? Screw retained or cemented? I am concerned about distal angulation of the implants in 4 quadrant. Would you have placed 8 implants? What would have you done differently? Thank you.
