Prosthodontic Planning and Procedures

Fixed vs. Removable Prosthodontics for Restoring the Edentulous Maxilla

Fixed and removable prosthodontic implant therapy for restoration of the edentulous maxilla is both complex and challenging. Careful assessment and planning is needed in each individual case to explore whether a fixed or a removable solution will be the more suitable to satisfy the patient’s preference for optimal esthetics, phonetics, comfort and function. This Learning Pathway explores the prosthodontically driven treatment planning based on structured assessment, considered diagnosis and practical application in clinical case examples.
