Purpose:
To evaluate the rehabilitation of edentulous mandibles with osseous integrated implants in immediate loading, using models in reverse planning.
Methods:
A prospective study was performed on 14 patients with a total of 56 implants placed. It was proposed a technique for the rehabilitation of edentulous mandible with osseous integrated implants of immediate loading, using anatomical replicas derived from computerized tomography scan linked to the rapid prototyping technique of stereolithography in reverse planning, elaborating the definitive fixed prosthesis, with rigid union of the implants on the same day. The patients' mandible models were divided in two groups. In the first one, there were patients with edentulous mandible models and with models elaborated after exodontics procedures (Group 1). In the second (Group 2), patients with dentulous mandible models, which allow an evaluation of difficulty in the surgery.
Results:
The proposed technique using anatomical models for the personalization of mandibles in immediate loading had 100% of less difficulty in the adaptation of the surgery guide while the dentulous models had 83,3% of more difficulty.
Conclusion:
The proposed technique using the mandible models in the rehabilitation of mandibles is feasible.
