Therapeutic sequence in the management of advanced cases in implant dentistry.
Osseointegrated implants have contributed significantly to the treatment of mutilated dentition. Many patients treated with removable prostheses have benefited from implant-supported fixed prostheses. Achieving successful osseointegration is now a predictable procedure and the successful integration of implants is no longer the main objective. Successfully restoring the form, function, and esthetics of the system, as well as maintaining osseointegration, is now a main objective. This goal depends on proper diagnosis and treatment planning, proper case selection, and an effectively and efficiently planned treatment approach.
