The total prosthesis: the queen of all prosthetic rehabilitations.
Salvatore Marono
The primary goals of implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation in totally edentulous patients are to restore both function, allowing for the resumption of normal chewing, and aesthetics. In recent years, we have witnessed the widespread use of osseointegrated implants and digital technologies as rehabilitative solutions. However, the role of complete dentures continues to be essential for the design and implementation of effective prosthetic solutions for the treatment of edentulism.
During this meeting, we will explore fundamental concepts and methods for the construction of complete dentures using a closed-mouth impression technique. This simplifies the rehabilitation process, meeting both the patient's aesthetic and functional needs while reducing operating times.
