Now let’s see how All on 4 implant solutions transformed the life of a Septugerian …
A 72-Year-old lady whose son is a practicing dentist in USA reported to our clinic with badly broken and loosened teeth having difficulty in biting and chewing her food. She sought our dental help to correct her defective teeth.
When we examined we found that many teeth had lost their bone support due to aging, Clinical assessment along with full mouth x-ray taken revealed that saving the teeth was not possible.
Treatment plan suggestive of removing all the teeth in both jaws and rehabilitating them with a fixed prosthesis(teeth) supported by Straumann all on 4 implants was explained to the patient. On patients, approval treatment was carried out with necessary pre-operative assessments and CBCT scans. Upper and lower jaw measurements (impressions)were made and a final fixed prosthesis (future fixed teeth)was made ready before the surgery.
Her teeth were revamped in just 2 days. Her smile and function of teeth were restored in 2 visits.
In the first visit, all the teeth were extracted ie removed and implant placement was done on a single day in both jaws.
Conscious sedation by an anesthetist was used for improved patient comfort.
Teeth were fixed on the next day following surgery. Thanks to precise pre-op 3D planning which was helpful in fulfilling the patient’s expectations.
