6-year follow-up of full-mouth dental implants: as stable as ever, with healthy periodontium _ Dental Implant Case Study

Dental implant cases

Full-mouth dental implants after extraction due to severe periodontal disease

Case Presentation:
Severe periodontitis had resulted in generalized mobility of all teeth and weak masticatory function, severely affecting the patient's ability to eat. The condition also markedly compromised aesthetics, to the extent that the patient felt unable to laugh openly. The patient wished to complete implant treatment as soon as possible to restore normal chewing function and improve facial appearance.

Treatment Plan:
All mobile teeth were to be extracted, followed by immediate placement of six dental implants in the upper arch and four in the lower arch. A provisional fixed bridge was to be delivered on the same day, and replaced with a definitive fixed bridge after 3 months.

Advantages of the Treatment Plan:
The fixed bridge remains stable during daily mastication without loosening. Immediate implant placement following extraction allows the two surgical procedures to be completed in a single visit. Immediate prosthodontic loading after implantation avoids the embarrassment of being edentulous. This approach also maximizes utilization of the existing bone volume, avoiding the need for bone grafting surgery.
