Author Description

Patients who are totally edentulous and who have been doomed to discomfort, pain and dysfunction because of the inability to use complete dentures and preventing natural teeth preparation in fixed partial denture as a biologic consideration and maxillofacial defects have been rehabilitated using various implant systems. Implants should only be considered after exhaustive medical history taking and diagnostic wax- ups. A variety of prosthetic techniques can be employed to restore various forms of edentulism. The implant systems mentioned in this literature have been proved to be a highly successful foundation to restore the patient to optimum function, comfort, esthetics and elevated patient's self-image.
