| Title | Implant-supported rehabilitation of severe malocclusion due to unilateral condylar hypoplasia: case report. | | Author(s) | Jacobson N, Starr C | | Institution | University of Florida College of Dentistry, Jacksonville Clinic, USA njacobson@dental.ufl.edu | | Source | J Oral Implantol 2008; 34(2):90-6. | | Abstract | Unilateral condylar hypoplasia results in facial, skeletal, and dental deformity and is a condition that is often treated with surgery and orthodontics. This report describes implant-supported prosthodontic rehabilitation in a 70-year-old patient who chose not to undergo orthognathic surgery. The patient underwent full-mouth dental extraction and placement of 9 maxillary and 5 mandibular implants. She received implant-supported cantilevered fixed prostheses in both arches to improve and minimize her skeletal and dental crossbite. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
