Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Prosthodontics
- Biomaterials
Background:
- Dental implants offer a stable foundation for prosthetic restorations.
- Various designs exist to address different patient needs, from single missing teeth to full arch rehabilitation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe and illustrate common types of implant prostheses.
- To provide an overview of current implant-supported restorative options.
Main Methods:
- Descriptive review of existing implant prosthesis classifications.
- Illustration of different prosthesis designs and their applications.
Main Results:
- Common implant prostheses include single tooth replacements.
- Multiple tooth fixed prostheses, removable complete dentures (implant and soft-tissue supported), implant-supported removable complete dentures, and fixed-detachable complete dentures were detailed.
Conclusions:
