Description
Summary:<span style="font-family: Tribune-Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>Dental implants have been used for several decades. Patients of all ages have chosen dental implants to replace a single tooth or </em><span style="font-family: Tribune-Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>several teeth or to support partial or full dentures. This paper reports two cases of patients treated with dental implant as alternative </em><span style="font-family: Tribune-Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>to replace the missing teeth and connected with natural tooth as abutments in a fixed restoration with distal cantilever bridge. The </em><span style="font-family: Tribune-Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>underlining reasons that we decided to make such kind fixed prostheses are because of clinically imposible to put the implant on certain </em><span style="font-family: Tribune-Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>area and the patients asked for prostheses as optimum as possible, so the mastication function could return to the homeostasis condition. </em><span style="font-family: Tribune-Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>The benefit of these treatments are that prostheses could be made as optimum as possible with a more economic price, so the patients </em><span style="font-family: Tribune-Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>feel quite satisfied. The result shows that a few years after the treatments finished there is no any disadvantageous effect of connecting </em><span style="font-family: Tribune-Italic; font-size: 9pt; color: #231f20; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;"><em>teeth to implants as abutments in fixed partial dentures and there is no sign of a harmful effect to the opposing teeth either.</em></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" /></span>
