The 48-year-old female patient came to our observation with extensive periodontal lesions and extreme mobility of all the elements of the upper arch, which support an old total metal-ceramic prosthesis. In agreement with the clinical situation and with the patient requests, the treatment consisted of the total avulsion of the upper arch and the insertion of 6 post-extraction implants positioned in the natural sockets where possible, filling any gaps with autologous bone collected from the drills. The self-centering relining of the provisional prosthesis made it possible to obtain a splinting without tension during the healing period. The final result allowed us to choose between a total white solution and a pink resin solution, immediately more aesthetic.
“The morphology of Prama neck in this case proved to be optimal in order to insert the implants at differentiated levels, respecting the residual bone peaks that I chose not to sacrifice.”
