Implant Supported Hybrid Prosthesis in Esthetic Zone: A Case Report

Abstract

Treatment guidelines for implant cases have improved tremendously over the years. Osseointegration of dental implants is not enough for treatment success because patient satisfaction lies also in the esthetics of restoration. A beneficial way to conduct implant dentistry involves exemplary diagnosis and treatment planning, keeping in mind the surgical and prosthetic parts. For any implant-driven prosthesis, sticking to the basic principle plays a key role. A hybrid prosthesis is a viable option when restoring function and esthetics in edentulous patients. Thus, the present case report brings out the experience of rehabilitating the patient with an implant-supported hybrid prosthesis.
