Immediate fixed partial denture after tooth extraction in patients with systemic diseases: A clinical report

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Prosthodontics
• Oral Surgery

Background:

• Systemic diseases can complicate dental treatment and limit patient mobility.
• Conventional dental prosthetic procedures often require multiple visits and extended treatment durations.
• Managing anterior tooth loss in medically compromised patients presents unique challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy of immediate fixed partial denture placement in the anterior region for patients with systemic diseases.
• To assess the impact of same-day extraction and prosthesis on treatment efficiency and patient experience.

Main Methods:

• A cohort of patients with systemic diseases requiring anterior tooth extraction underwent immediate fixed partial denture placement.
• Treatment involved extraction of compromised teeth followed by the placement of a provisional or definitive fixed partial denture on the same day.
• Clinical and patient-reported outcomes were monitored.

Main Results:

• Immediate fixed partial denture placement significantly reduced the overall treatment period compared to conventional methods.
• The number of required dental visits was substantially decreased.
• Patients reported improved psychological well-being and satisfaction with the accelerated treatment process.

Conclusions:

• Same-day fixed partial denture placement is a viable and beneficial treatment modality for patients with systemic diseases facing dental challenges.
• This approach enhances treatment efficiency and positively impacts patient psychology by minimizing treatment duration and visit frequency.
