Screw retained hybrid bridge or PFM crown and bridge?
Last Updated: Jun 01, 2012
I have placed 5 implants in the mandible and done endo in #21, 20, 27 [mandibular left first and second premolars and mandibular right canine; 34,35 and 43]. The patient is has an edentulous posterior maxilla. All the implants are osseointegrated after 6 months and I can detect grade I mobility with #21,20, 27. Â Should I remove these teeth and place immediate implants in #21 and 27 sites ? Or should I place single crowns on them? Â If they fail in the future I can replace these teeth with individual implants. Another option would be to do a screw retained hybrid bridge for the mandibular restoration. Â In the future I am planning bilateral sinus lifts with installation of implants in the posterior maxilla. Â What do you recommend that I do now in the mandible?
