Prosthesis-Driven Implant Treatment

The advantages of implant dentistry can only be achieved if the final prosthesis is planned from the start. This approach ensures a predictable outcome.

Misch's Prosthetic Options

Misch proposed five different types of implant restorations.

Fixed Implant Restorations

Three of Misch's options involve fixed restorations, meaning they cannot be removed by the patient. These differ in the amount of bone and gum tissue replacement required.

Removable Implant Restorations

Two of Misch's options are removable restorations, meaning patients can take them out.

Study Notes

Implant Dentistry Benefits

Implant dentistry's success hinges on initial prosthesis planning.
A structured treatment plan, centered on the prosthesis, leads to predictable outcomes.
Implant dentistry provides more options than traditional dentistry for completely and partially edentulous patients.

Prosthetic Options in Implant Dentistry

Misch's classification system for prosthetic options (FP1-FP3, RP4-RP5) are determined by the amount of hard and soft tissue replacement needed.
Three fixed restorations (FP1-FP3) differ in tissue replacement (hard and soft).
Two removable restorations (RP4-RP5) differ based on support type and amount.
Prosthetic options include considerations for crown height space, bone width, implant positioning, and restorative materials.

Implant Prosthesis Support

Initial implant prosthesis support design should mirror conventional tooth-supported restorations.
Implant placement and surrounding treatment are determined after the desired prosthesis is designed.
