The bone of the alveolar ridge is too thin to place 3 dental implants in the proper and ideal anatomical location of the lower jaw. By not being placed at the correct location there will be harmful offset loads (stress factors) resulting in biomechanical overloading to the prosthesis and implant

A missing tooth for a prolonged period of time has lead to the deterioration of bone volume at the site resulting in an hourglass appearance at the crest of the ridge. Therefore, a ridge splitting procedure (RSP) with expansion is performed to increase the width of the ridge to accommodate

The width of the alveolar ridge is insufficient for an ideal dental implant placement of size 5.0 x 10 mm at this particular location in the mouth and as a result will require bone augmentation in order to restore the ridge with this choice of implants. The proper positioning of

An external (lateral window) sinus lift procedure is performed by creating an access hole from the side of the sinus cavity intraorally and carefully elevating or lifting of the sinus or schneiderian membrane. Once lifted, a mixture of autogenous bone (autograft) along with bone substitute material (BSM) is placed under

The patient chooses a full-arch fixed (screw-retained) implant prosthesis (implant bridge) instead of a removable implant overdenture (IOD) and as a result, the oral prosthesis can be further reduced in size especially in the palatal area (roof of the mouth). Overall, this reduction of the oral prosthesis can be more

A “snap-on” oral prosthesis or removable implant overdenture is created from an old complete denture that the patient has been wearing for many years. Due to the lack of sufficient bone height above the inferior alveolar nerve in the posterior regions, dental implants are all placed in front of the
