title: Restoring a severely resorbed maxillary anterior partially edentulous space using a one-piece titanium implant fixed partial denture: a clinical report.
abstract: This article describes the treatment provided for a patient presenting with a severely resorbed partially edentulous maxillary anterior space and a previously placed implant. After the patient refused removal of the existing implant and additional grafting of hard and soft tissue, the nonsalvageable teeth were removed and 2 endosseous implants were placed. A 1-piece titanium implant fixed partial denture was used to restore the missing portions of the soft and hard tissues. This clinical report details the treatment of this challenging restorative dilemma.
