Title: Stabilization of a computer-aided implant surgical guide using existing dental implants with conversion of an overdenture to a fixed prosthesis. Author: Rathi N, Scherer MD, McGlumphy E. Journal: J Prosthodont; 2014 Dec; 23(8):634-8. PubMed ID: 24957930. Abstract: This clinical report describes a technique to stabilize a computer-aided dental implant surgical guide to existing implants. A patient requested conversion of her existing mandibular implant-assisted overdenture into a fixed complete denture. The surgical procedure was planned virtually, and the two existing dental implants were integrated into the surgical plan as a means to fixate the surgical guide. The implants were placed, and the patient's prosthesis was converted into an interim fixed complete denture.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
