Abstract:
Edentulous maxillae can be restored with implant supported fixed restorations containing denture teeth on a metal framework, implant-retained removable overlay prostheses, or porcelain fused-to-metal fixed prostheses. Esthetics and hygiene access are two important factors in determining the restoration best suited for each patient. Treatment planning considerations and treatment procedures for the various techniques are discussed.
