Managing malrelated arches and limited vertical space for implant-supported overdentures: a case report.
Advancements in implant therapy have expanded the prosthetic options available to treat edentulous patients. The dental professional must be able to accurately diagnose the status of the intraoral environmental in order to provide the patient with appropriate treatment and a suitable restorative result. Skeletal relationships, arch malalignment, implant angulation, and ridge morphology must be evaluated during initial treatment planning and incorporated into the definitive prosthetic result. This case report demonstrates the application of an implant-supported prosthesis to address the various complications presented in the treatment of edentulous patients.
