In November 2009 a patient came to us who had previously been treated in March 2009 with positioning of implants in the lower arch. The male patient, aged 48 and a non-smoker, asked us if we could replace his old “mobile job”, a removable partial denture that he had been wearing for years, with a fixed prosthesis. Specifically he asked us, in a short period of time, to replace the two incisors (11 and 21) and the first left upper premolar (24), therefore asking for a fixed prosthesis with the lowest possible cost. The objective examination showed considerable crestal reabsorption in zones 11 and 21, both horizontal and vertical, compensated by the resin part of his removable denture. Dyschromia was also noted, loss of enamel and old fillings on the lateral incisors 11 and 22. The need to rehabilitate a zone of such high aesthetic value while trying to keep down the costs led us to choose the following treatment: 2 Kohno implants by Sweden & Martina with screwed composite crowns, direct facets in composite material on the laterals and implant on 24. This choice will be extremely advantageous as regards both the economic aspect and the healing times.
