The use of different implant modalities in the atrophied ridge

Many implant practitioners have been taught to use one implant system by a specific manufacturer. However, to successfully treat a patient, implant clinicians must learn to utilize the strengths of various systems when the patient's condition warrants it. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how an edentulous patient with atrophied bone was treated with multiple-model implant procedures. Her treatment included different root form implants, bone spreading augmentations, endosseous submerged blades, tricortical support Diskimplants, and a custom-made ramus blade implant.
