Abstract
UNLABELLED: In today's dental literature, most frequently, esthetics are addressed with fixed restorations. This article will illustrate the opportunity to provide our patients with very good esthetic outcomes with a hopeless dentition utilizing dental implants, laser-welded titanium components, and characterized acrylic resin prostheses. The definitive prostheses provide excellent facial support, phonetics, esthetics, smile line, and function. The steps in such a treatment will be presented from the clinical to dental laboratory procedures. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Incorporating newer technology into our patient treatment plans, which increasingly includes dental implants, may allow more time-efficient, esthetic, predictable, and reliable treatment. Laser-welded titanium frameworks offer many advantages for the patient, clinician, and dental technician, which are illustrated.Entities:
