Abstract

Introduction. Edentulism is a condition characterized by the absence of all teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw. The problem of edentulism can be solved using conventional removable complete dentures and by the increasingly common creation of fixed prosthetic restorations on implants. The aim of the paper was to present the case of a patient who underwent successful implant-prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous upper and lower jaws by creating a hybrid prosthetic work. Case report. After the successful fitting and osseointegration of implants, complete occlusal rehabilitation of the patient was performed using BioHPP (high-performance polymers) and zirconia. Conclusion. With the combined use of implants, new materials and technologies, modern dentistry enables the creation of fixed prosthetic restorations after the loss of all teeth, which gives excellent functional and aesthetic results and enables a better quality of life to the patient.
