Abstract

Conventional dentures and implant-fixed prostheses are the treatment of choice for patients with multiple missing teeth. Implantassisted removable partial dentures (IARPD) represent a viable treatment option that combines these two treatment modalities to provide greater retention and stability compared to dentures alone. IARPDs also offer enhanced esthetic characteristics in patients with severe bone loss, and treatment outcomes can be improved further through careful diagnosis taking the degree of bone loss and the patient’s facial features into consideration. Accurate implant placement that is compatible with the partial denture design and the opposing dentition is also crucial for success. The current clinical series includes patients that underwent partial denture treatment using implant-supported surveyed crowns, and presented satisfactory functional and esthetic treatment outcomes.
