Rehabilitation of a Full-Arch Patient with Cemented Metal-Ceramic Multiple Prostheses on Implants: A Case Report

Abstract

Objective: To report a clinical case of a female patient rehabilitated with Cemented Metal-Ceramic Multiple
Prostheses on Implants in the upper arch. Materials and Methods: A multidisciplinary approach was employed,
utilizing various clinical skills to achieve satisfactory outcomes in the rehabilitation of a fully edentulous patient.
The treatment plan involved the use of cemented metal-ceramic prostheses, with a focus on optimizing the
positioning of the crown margins to ensure periodontal health. Results: The use of cemented metal-ceramic
multiple prostheses effectively addressed the patient’s aesthetic concerns by eliminating screw access holes and
ensuring the continuity of the ceramic material. The supragingival positioning of the crown margins prevented
excess cement in the peri-implant sulcus, promoting periodontal health. The final prostheses provided excellent
aesthetics and functionality, leading to enhanced patient satisfaction. Conclusion: The choice of cemented
implant-supported prostheses represents a highly effective approach for treating edentulism. This method offers
clinical benefits, such as increased retention and improved esthetic outcomes, while also positively impacting
the patient’s quality of life.
