Implants and all-ceramic restorations in a patient treated for aggressive periodontitis: a case report

Jin-Sun Hong et al. J Adv Prosthodont. 2010 Sep.

Abstract

A 23-year-old female with aggressive periodontitis was treated using dental implants and LAVA system. The severely compromised teeth were extracted irrespective of initial conservative periodontal treatment. An implant-supported overdenture with 4 implants was fabricated for the maxilla and all-ceramic restorations for the mandible. Esthetic and functional goals were achieved with team approach involving periodontists and prosthodontists. This case report describes a treatment procedure for a generalized aggressive periodontitis patient with severe bone resorption.

Keywords: 3M LAVA™ system; Aggressive periodontitis; Implant-supported overdenture; Rehabilitation.
