Hi guys, just thought I would share this case as a lot of people are still on the fence over Titanium.
We were asked to construct a simple 3 unit Titanium bridge and if angulation allowed then screw retained.
We made a guide stent for the surgeon to help with placement of the implants.
After integration the job was scanned in a KaVo Scan Pro and designed using multiCAD/Exocad
We milled the bridge in our KaVo 5 axis milling unit out of Grade 2 medical Ti and layered the bridge using GC Initial.
"Dear Peter,
Please find enclosed the radiographs and photos for xxxxxx who you are making a surgical stent for me.
The ridge is very thin and resorbed in the LR5 region, so we are looking at placing 2 x Maxi-Z flat end 4.5 x 10mm implants in the LR6,7 area; as the bone is significantly wider and deeper here.
The plan will be to place a screw retained cantilever bridge after integration of the implants in the LR7,6,5 space to restore the LRQ."
Dear Peter,
Please find enclosed the photos for xxxxxx whom I have taken the impressions today for an implant bridge to restore the LR7,6,5.
xxxxxx has a rather large and difficult to control tongue and produces copious amounts of saliva, so I have done the shade photos from the anterior view to try and make my life a bit easier. We are looking at a shade mix of roughly A4, B3, C3.
We have placed two Maxi Z flat end implants in the LR6 and LR7 region and we will have a short cantilever onto the LR5 (as there is a large bony defect here and was not suitable for an implant).
If possible can we have a screw retained bridge on the LRQ with a small occlusal table on the LR5 to limit the forces rotational forces on the implants.
Please let me know if there are any problems.
"We kept the LR5 out of the bite to stop any forces"
Many thanks Pete
