Terminal dentition to functional esthetic full-mouth implant reconstruction: Evidence-based approach

Farhan Durrani, Himani Painuly, Akanksha Shukla, Rakhshinda Nahid, Samidha PandeyJournal of Indian Society of Periodontology 2021 25(2):176-180 Implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis is a well-accepted treatment option for edentulism. Loss of teeth due to extensive caries or severe periodontitis presents a challenge to the clinicians. Young age disability with either of these problems can further make full-mouth rehabilitation on implants a complex procedure. The outcome of implant surgery with periapical infections and periodontal inflammation is unpredictable and often delays the placement of dental implants. Here, we describe a case of full-mouth reconstruction with implant-supported prosthesis in a young individual who lost all her teeth due to extensive caries. The journey from terminal dentition to functional esthetic rehabilitation was uneventful.
