Upper Arch Rehabilitation with Implants Supported Bridge

62 years female patient came to our Dental Implant Clinic suffering from an inability to eat properly for the last few years and lack of self confidence in social situations due to the severe caries in front teeth.

Additionally, she was suffering from recurrent abscess formation. The patient had visited a few other dental clinics in Delhi as well where she encountered failed restoration, inappropriate RCT and restoration. She was looking for a permanent solution and needed fixed and appealing teeth that will be strong and functional as well. The patient’s medical history was clear. She wanted the best dental implant in Delhi.

A clinical and radiological examination was carried out to assess the patient’s suitability for implant placement. On the upper jaw she had decayed roots and retained roots in the front region. In order to provide the patient with an accurate diagnosis and to evaluate bone level and quality for potential dental implant placement, a 3D CBCT Scan was performed. The quality of the alveolar bone seemed adequate for dental implants placement and no extra bone graft was required for implant surgery.

Treatment Planning - The plan was to remove all the decayed front teeth and placement of six implants, 3 side by side and then followed by fabrication of screw retained zirconia bridge after healing period of 4 months

Single Dental Implant Restoration Cases

Implant Supported Dentures

Total teeth loss is a common phenomenon in patients with poor bone integrity. The reasons leading to this can be various, old age being the most common. One such patient came to us for help who had lost majority of his teeth. After through examination and discussions with experts we suggested the use of implant supported dentures. The two main reasons were

1. In this case there was no scope for conventional dentures as the preliminary support system of adjacent teeth was not available.

2. Individual implants in place of the missing teeth were not cost-effective for the patient.

For implant supported dentures we follow the same surgical process as individual implants, but instead of a single crown, an entire denture is placed on the implant. This was done to make the prosthesis more stable, easily detachable (the patient himself could do it), and provide good support. Implant supported denture is the best solution for anyone who is suffering from total teeth loss.

Two Mirell Implants

This patient visited us with an acute toothache and our diagnosis revealed that two of his molars in the upper left region were severely infected. Tooth infection generally occurs due to cavity and tooth decay. To save this patient’s adjoining teeth, the underlying jaw bone, and the surrounding gum, we had to remove both the molars.

However, owing to the absence of molars, the patient was naturally having a problem in chewing as these types of teeth help us to grind our food just before swallowing. 5 months later, from the date of the removal, we placed two Mirell implants (a brand we recommend) in place of the missing teeth. The patient will now take 5-6 months more to heal post osteointegration after which we will place the crown on them. He soon will have his molar functions resumed and his oral structure will be back to normal.
