SINGLE BODY TRANSIENT IMPLANTS IMMEDIATE ACTIVATED FOR PROVISIONAL PROSTHESIS RETENTION - case report

Abstract

Prosthetic rehabilitation gained a component that solved problems of edentulous people. These are the Osseo integrative implants, introduced by Professor Per Ingvar Branemark between the 1970s and 1980s, and which has become in most cases the first option for oral rehabilitation. In the case of mandible total edentulous, the total fixed prosthesis on implants installed between the mental foramina is a type of rehabilitation treatment with a high degree of success. In cases where it is not possible to place the fixed prosthesis with immediate loading after implant installation, the patient may use a provisional total prosthesis, directly on the permanent implants installed or retained by transient implants of single body, ball-type fitting 'ring. The present article reports a clinical case with the use of single body transient implants to retain temporary total prosthesis during the time of osseointegration of permanent implants.
