Fixed prosthodontics in skeletal Class III patients with partially edentulous jaws and age-related prognathism: the basal osseointegration procedure.

Today, prognathism in the partially or completely edentulous jaw can be treated with endosteal implants and fixed prostheses. The preferred procedure uses basal osseointegration. If the distribution of available bone is favorable, the prosthodontic suprastructures can be loaded early, taking the various phases of bone regeneration into account. Invasive surgical interventions, specifically iliac crest transplants, are rarely indicated and can be avoided in most cases. Patients are able to return to their everyday lives within a few days.
