Impressing the international jury and bagging the 4th BEGO clinical case award,<br />
Dr Selene Kuo presents her winning case using the BEGO Semados RSX implant<br />
in combination with the components of the MultiPlus concept to rehabilitate fully<br />
edentulous jaws.<br />
A 65-year-old healthy male patient presented<br />
with missing anterior teeth and lack of proper<br />
posterior support which jeopardised his<br />
mastication and aesthetics. The patient was<br />
wearing ill-fitting removable partial denture<br />
and wished to have a fixed dental treatment.<br />
Upon thorough diagnosis and examination, it<br />
was revealed that the remaining teeth were no<br />
longer salvageable. Hence, implant-supported<br />
fixed dental prosthesis would be provided as<br />
treatment for both maxilla and mandible.<br />

TREATMENT PROCEDURE<br />
Navigation system was incorporated into<br />
the treatment workflow to achieve optimal<br />
precision of implant and surgical procedures<br />
as well as time control during surgery. Presurgical<br />
plan was carried out utilising implant<br />
design software (Navidant), predetermining<br />
proper implant numbers, position, angulation,<br />
depth and the potential intervention of<br />
grafting procedures plus timing of implant<br />
loading.<br />
