Mandibular full-arch restoration with Straumann implant-supported metal mesostructures and zirconia-based prosthesis: A case report

A 63-year-old female patient presented with a severe chronic periodontitis at the mandibular arch. Only teeth 33 and 44 were present and had been used as abutments for a resin removable partial denture which did not satisfy the functional and estethic needs of the patient. Moreover, a metal-ceramic crown with a supragingival margin and a mesial metal connector was evidenced on tooth 33; the patient reported that the mandibular front teeth had been previously prepared for a metal-ceramic fixed dental prosthesis, in order to limit the discomfort due to the mobility of such teeth.At the maxillary arch, the patient wore a complete removable denture which was esthetically unsatisfactory but valid to accomplish oral functions.
