Final Prosthesis Design
The surgical feasibility of the treatment
sequence is checked with reference to
the initial situation, the casts, and the
x-ray findings. Depending on the clinical
situation, periodontal or augmentation
interventions are performed before
implant surgery or at the time of the
implant placement.
Individualization of the Prosthetic
Design
The patient's wishes regarding the scope
and cost of the implant-supported prosthetic
restoration expressed in the
patient interview are incorporated into
the individual prosthesis design. The
number of implants, the requirement for
augmentation and possible soft-tissue
corrections are determined exclusively by
local conditions and the prosthetic
design. This interview must be documented
in detail and the patient must
sign a statement of consent before
implementing the treatment process.
Planning the Treatment Sequence
Now that the prosthetic goal has been
defined, the required treatment steps are
specified in a backward planning
process. This process must include all
details that are likely to be required,
particularly in connection with augmentation.
The planning template can now
be converted into a drilling template.
Documentation of Patient Interview and Explanation
The results of the planning process are discussed with the patient. Casts, x-ray
images, and the planning devices (wax-up and set-up) are helpful, here.
The following criteria are considered:
• Initial situation
• Desires and expectations regarding esthetics, function and comfort
• Effort/benefit ratio
• Costs
• Risk
• Duration of treatment
• Restrictions in comfort during treatment
