Zirconia removable prosthesis using a milled bar in patient with mandible anterior edentulous area with severe alveolar bone resorption: a case report.

In patients with severe alveolar bone resorption on mandibular anterior edentulous areas, it can be difficult to place implants in the location for crowns, and to create the fixed prosthesis having an adequate emergence profile or embrasure, which makes maintenance difficult. Fabricating a removable zirconia prosthesis with a milled bar on poorly positioned implants can be a good option because of easy maintenance. In this case, the patient had severe bone resorption on mandibular anterior region, and large vertical space. We report on the aesthetical and easy-to-maintain results by placing two implants and fabricating a zirconia prosthesis using milled bar. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
