If the patient wants a fixed restoration, the jaw bone is sufficient and the task is to replenish only the missing teeth (and not large deficiencies of soft and hard tissue), then we can, by placing more implants than required by one denture, to make a permanent prosthesis that will remain permanently in the mouth. As a rule, such a rehabilitation requires more planning, better case selection and costs more. Such restoration is, however, more easily accepted by the patient, has a better aesthetic effect and therefore more desirable.
However, even if there is a slight shortage of hard and soft tissues, again we can make a fixed prosthesis that can restore this loss by adding pink porcelain. In these cases the proper and adequate application of oral hygiene rules is the cornerstone of success and longevity of reconstruction. Such prostheses require frequent re-examinations, possible repairs and full patient co-operation. They are, however, the first choice for patients as opposed to a hybrid denture and a challenge for the dentist and the dental laboratory.
