The edentulous jaw is a practical clinical treatment for dental implants. The patient was an 82-year-old male with an edentulous mandible; only the upper right 3,4 left upper jaw. The teeth were elongated and loosened with a wedge-shaped defect.
The patient had 3 times of removable dentures in other hospitals, all of which were given up due to poor retention. Because the neighbor downstairs recommended to my outpatient clinic. patient complaints
1. Dentures are hard to wear,
2. Being able to eat simple things,
3. Make others look like they have teeth.
Based on the age and physical condition of the patients, the design plan is as follows: after the treatment of the upper right upper jaw 3 and 4, the crown-to-root ratio is adjusted to design a telescopic crown and full oral teeth, and two implant ball caps are implanted in the mandibular position 3 and 3 to retain the lower half oral teeth. The patient agreed with the plan, so the dental implant surgery was arranged. The surgical process was smooth but the patient’s blood supply was poor, so a second stage was performed 4 months after implantation.
The upper jaw was successfully completed around January, and the photo was taken when it was finally completed, so the photo has already done the second phase. After the ball cap is installed, the full lens, and the photo after wearing the dentures, the entire treatment process is very tortuous. From the beginning, the patient is full of confidence and cooperates to complete the treatment of the upper jaw and the implantation of the lower jaw.
When a patient was given a mandibular overdenture, there was no denture due to a lack of a normal bite for many years. I felt uneasy as soon as I put it on. It took half a month to establish the occlusal relationship. I instructed the patient to insist on wearing the dentures until the second period after 4 months. After 4 months, the patient was scheduled for a follow-up visit. The patient was very dissatisfied with the excessive mandibular dentures, and the mandibular dentures were not worn, and asked to give up the treatment.
It is not easy for the doctor to persuade him with all his heart, and promise him: if he is not satisfied after the completion, he will be sent to him for the later expenses. It’s back to the treatment process. Start to determine the occlusal relationship again, and do the second stage until the restoration is completed. The patient was asked for a follow-up visit a week later, and the patient paid the money two weeks later, saying that one week of adaptation was too short. In the end, the whole treatment ended happily, the patient was very happy, and I was also very pleased.
