Dalbo ® -PLUS elliptic ball anchors <strong>on</strong> 4 <strong>implants</strong>, a removable<br />

bridge restorati<strong>on</strong><br />

Brief descripti<strong>on</strong> (Case 8, fig. 1– 8)<br />

A 62-year-old female patient came to us because she was dissatisfied<br />

with the retenti<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> functi<strong>on</strong> of her upper full denture, as she<br />

still had a complete dental arch in the opposing jaw. The patient<br />

also complained of a gagging reflex due to the palatal coverage of<br />

the denture; though this was not serious, it could not be ignored.<br />

Following implantati<strong>on</strong>, osseointegrati<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> exposure of four<br />

<strong>implants</strong>, a superstructure design was selected based <strong>on</strong> removable<br />

restorati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong> tapered crowns; the design was very similar to that<br />

of a fixed bridge restorati<strong>on</strong>. As the design was very hygienic, the<br />

restorati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong>ly needed to be operator-removable.<br />

The restorati<strong>on</strong> has been in situ for two years <strong>and</strong> the patient is<br />

extremely satisfied with it.
