title: [Hybrid prosthesis implant-supported superstructures in edentulous jaw. 1. Case planning].
abstract: Dental literature covers a wide range of implant-based denture supports. Based on static/dynamic as well as preventive periodontal considerations, rigidly anchoring the removable superconstruction of hybrid dentures using secondary splinting of four implants with telescope crowns or readymade cap-andpost systems, is generally appropriate in cases where the lower jaw is toothless. This makes possible an impeccable bridgeshaped design for the main part of the dentures, with wide-open inter-implant rincing areas. Clinical experience has shown that, in comparison to bridge dentures or rigid bridgework, secondary splinting in reconstructions greatly simplifies oral hygiene, particularly for elderly patients.
