Edentulous maxillae can be restored with implant supported fixed restorations containing denture teeth on a metal framework, implant-retained removable overlay prostheses, or porcelain fused-to-metal fixed prostheses. Esthetics and hygiene access are two important factors in determining the restoration best suited for each patient. Treatment planning considerations and treatment procedures for the various techniques are discussed.
A master cast that simulates the mucosa around implant fixtures and abutments facilitates implant prosthesis fabrication. It is helpful if this simulation is not altered during laboratory procedures. A technique is described for a master cast that includes a removable mucosal component. This technique can be applied when either implant or abutment analogs are positioned in the cast.
