Abstract
Objective: This article presents a comprehensive approach to the treatment of patients with generalized pathological tooth wear complicated by dental arch defects. Method: When planning therapy, the patient’s overall health, age, and the activity of the pathological process were taken into account. Restoration of the anatomical shape of teeth and replacement of dental arch defects were performed using prosthetic constructions supported by dental implants. Implant placement was carried out when sufficient bone volume was available and there was no need for bone augmentation. Results: During the first month after implantation, a decrease in the stability of the bone–implant interface was observed. In the second and third months, implant stability gradually increased, reaching its maximum after one year, indicating remodeling of the bone tissue around the implant. Novelty: This article presents a comprehensive approach to the treatment of patients with generalized pathological tooth wear complicated by dental arch defects.
