Clinical Notes

A 72-year-old patient complained of mobility in his lower teeth and unstable pontic bridges. After consultation and a discussion of the options with his dentist, planning was made for an implant-supported bridge on the lower jaw. The upper jaw was to have a removable full upper denture. All unstable and infected teeth were removed in preparation for the implants. Four Ankylos implants were placed at positions #34, 35, 43, and 45 with Syncone 5-degree abutments to support and retain the bridge. The before and after photos show the results of the treatment of both the full upper denture and the implant-supported bridge. The patient reported significantly improved function and comfort.
