Clinical Case Report

Replacement of Multiple Teeth in a Partially Dentate Posterior Maxilla and Mandible with Fixed Dental Prostheses Using a Conventional Loading Protocol

German Gallucci

In the summer of 2002, a 42-year-old female patient was referred to the University of Geneva for the replacement of posterior maxillary and mandibular missing or non-restorable teeth.The patient’s medical history revealed no significant findings,and she was in good general health.Her dental history included recurrent decay that led to the loss of several posterior teeth. The patient showed no history of periodontal disease. At the extraoral examination, the patient presented normal physiognomy with normal facial and lip support and homogenous distribution of the facial thirds. At full smiling, the patient displayed an average lip line, and a tooth gap was slightly visible in the left maxilla. Small diastemas were present between the anterior maxillary teeth.

  • * General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.

  • ** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
