    Study Notes

    Bone Augmentation

    • The width or height of the crestal bone is frequently lacking after the loss of multiple adjacent natural teeth.
    • Soft tissue augmentation is required to improve the interproximal gingival contour, which is difficult to achieve when more than two adjacent teeth are missing.
    • This can result in open "black" triangular spaces when the patient smiles.

    Restorative Material

    • Noble metal is the base metal of choice in case of a non-passive fit at the metal try-in.
    • Noble metal corrodes less than non-precious alloys.
    • Any history of exudate around a subgingival margin will dramatically increase the corrosion effect between the implant and the base metal.
    • Porcelain to noble-metal alloy is the material of choice to improve the accuracy of the casting.

    FP-1 Crown

    • A single tooth FP-1 crown may use aluminum oxide cores and porcelain crowns or ceramic abutments and porcelain crowns.
    • The risk of fracture may increase because impact forces are greater on implants than natural teeth.

    FP-2 Fixed Prosthesis

    • An FP-2 fixed prosthesis appears to restore the anatomical crown and a portion of the root of the natural tooth.
    • If the high lip line during smiling or the low lip line during speech does not display the cervical regions, longer teeth are usually of no esthetic consequence.
    • As the patient becomes older, the maxillary esthetic zone is altered.
    • The low lip position of the mandibular lip during speech is not affected as much as the maxillary lip during the high smile line.

    Hygienic Considerations

    • Implant may even be placed in an embrasure between two teeth.
    • If this occurs, the incisal two-thirds of the two crowns should be ideal in width, as though the implants were not present.
    • Only the cervical region is compromised.

    FP-3 and RP-4 Prosthetics

    • The amount and contour of the metal work is different than for an FP-1 restoration.
    • As with the FP-2 prosthesis, the original available bone height has decreased by natural resorption or osteoplasty at the time of implant placement.
    • To place the incisal edge of the teeth in proper position for esthetics, function, lip support, and speech, the excessive vertical dimension to be restored requires teeth that are unnatural in length.
    • A superstructure and overdenture attachments must often be added to the implant abutments.
    • The implants in an RP-4 prosthesis should be placed in the mesiodistal position for the best biomechanical and hygienic situation.

    Implant Positioning

    • The position of an attachment on the superstructure or prosthesis may also affect the amount of spacing between the implants.
    • For example, a Hader clip requires the mesiodistal implant spacing to be greater than 6 mm from edge to edge.
    • The ideal distance between the implants is in the 14- to 16-mm range or B and D positions.
    • Implants placed closer than the B, D position will result in reduced prosthesis stability during function whether they are connected or independent units.
