Abstract:
Managing severe atrophy of the alveolar crest is indeed challenging. The insufficient bone support not only results in prosthetic instability but also compromises the overall quality of life for those affected. In this exploration of real clinical cases, we examine how to apply various prosthetic solutions, including Piezo Impression, Overdentures with attachments and bars, and strategic implants. This provides insights into their effectiveness in addressing the complexities of alveolar ridge atrophy.
