Fixed implant prosthesis

A complete fixed denture on implants is a many times more complex and complicated task. It requires special knowledge, equipment and experience. Here is a common problem, for example: in 30% of completely toothless patients with an implant-supported fixed bridge, smaller or larger pieces of the usual porcelain and zirconia dentures continuously break off (because the sensory receptors of the teeth are missing and, therefore, the chewing movements of patients with implants are uncontrolled, which overloads their dentures). Because of this, special dentures must be made. A regular implantologist-dentist does not need to know how to make these fixed implant supported dentures.

COMBINED OR HYBRID FIXED DENTURES
These are so new that they do not even have an agreed name. They eliminate the disadvantages of previous dentures. Besides meeting the highest aesthetic requirements, they are characterised by trouble-free durability and are easy to repair. The screw-retained zirconia (or titanium) denture consists of 12 to 14 individual zirkonai crowns bonded onto a framework. It is designed to be placed on implants because of the strain due to the increased bite strength.

MALO BRIDGE
A special fixed bridge designed exclusively for cases treated with the All-on-4 technique. The titanium-acrylic bridge is retained on the four implants by screws. The All-on-4 technique was designed keeping comfort, aesthetics and simplicity in mind (and received innovation awards for these properties), and its price is somewhat more favourable.
