A MAXILLARY ANTERIOR PARTIALLY EDENTULOUS SPACE RESTORED WITH A ONE-PIECE ZIRCONIA IMPLANT FIXED PARTIAL DENTURE: A CLINICAL REPORT

This article describes the treatment provided to a patient who presented with a partially edentulous maxillary anterior space exhibiting severe resorption of the residual ridge. Two endosseous implants were placed to retain the prosthesis, which restored the missing teeth. A 1-plece zirconia implant fixed partial denture with individual all-ceramic crowns was used to replace the missing portions of the soft and hard tissues. This clinical report details the treatment of this restorative dilemma. (J Prosthet Dent 2009;101:354-358)
