Abstract:
It is important to produce a provisional restoration reflecting the patient's jaw relation, occlusal plane, lip support, shape of teeth, and occlusion type for fully edentulous patients before making a definite prosthesis. The patient introduced in this study showed bad prognosis of remained tooth after severe periodontal diseases. Therefore, remaining teeth were extracted and replaced with dental implants. Provisional restorations were fabricated and the the patient's vertical and horizontal jaw relationship, occlusal plane, amount of overjet and overbite, size of teeth, and length of anterior tooth were recorded. Provisional restorations were scanned and CAD/CAM techniques were used to fabricate a monolithic zirconia bridge, which contour is identical with the provisional restorations. The patient was satisfied with the treatment results on functional, esthetic aspects and the prosthesis retained stable during the four-month clinical observation period.
