• Title : Biologically Guided Mandibular Reconstruction & Rehabilitation

• Abstract :

  Patient Information:

  A 65-year-old female presented with a 2-month history of occlusal discomfort and thermal sensitivity in her mandibular fixed prosthesis. The patient had undergone a long-span fixed bridge placement 10 years ago following extraction of carious teeth. She requested replacement of the existing prosthesis.

   Restorative Treatment Plan:

  A segmented approach was implemented to record occlusion, followed by planned abutment and implant-supported restoration.

  Treatment Process & Outcomes:

  Segmented provisional restorations were delivered to stabilize occlusion

  Definitive implant-supported and tooth-supported prostheses were completed

  Peri-implant soft tissue stability was achieved

  Final outcome demonstrated stable occlusion

   Discussion:

   In combined implant-tooth supported restorations, particular attention must be paid to:

   Peri-implant soft tissue stability

   Width of keratinized gingiva and gingival thickness

   Maintenance of occlusal stability
