Planning Full-Arch Reconstructions for Today and Tomorrow: Implant Overdentures and Fixed Restorations
Michael D. Scherer, DMD, MS
Patients may be unable or unwilling for a variety of reasons to commit to treatment with fixed restorations. For many edentulous patients, the high cost of such procedures may be prohibitive, making removable dental prostheses the more appealing treatment option. However, these patients may wish to leave open the option to request treatment with fixed restorations at a later date when finances permit. For this reason, it is important for dental practitioners to understand the diagnostic protocols and implant treatment planning strategies that will enable patients to convert to an alternative prosthetic restoration at a future date. The aim of this article is to discuss strategic implant treatment planning that takes into consideration the future restoration treatment needs of patients.
