A case report of full mouth reconstruction with a fixed implant-supported prosthesis for a patient with solid bite force

Abstract

Patient: A 74-year-old male visited our clinic with the complaint of discomfort in the left molar region of the mandible. The cause of the chief complaint was a fracture of the mandibular left first molar, and the patient was classified as a so-called “power type patient.” In order to improve the problems of occlusal vertical dimension and occlusal plane, comprehensive prosthetic treatment with dental implants was performed.

Discussion: The application of dental implants to a patient with insufficient support elements made it possible to add a fixed prosthetic restoration to the defect and to reduce the loading on the remaining teeth. The addition of occlusal support elements by dental implants is effective in the comprehensive prosthetic treatment of power-type patients.

Conclusion: The complete prosthetic treatment with implants restored and stabilized the occlusal function.
