Abstract
Implant supported rehabilitations are routinely successful and provide patients with comfort and function levels which may surpass that of conventional treatment options. Patient-reported outcomes have revealed that satisfaction scores are significantly higher among interviewees wearing implant-supported rehabilitations compared to those with conventional fixed or removable dentures [1].
Implant treatment plans are often complex, expensive and lengthy in nature. This is especially evident when extensive sinus and other bone grafting techniques are incorporated into the treatment. Bone grafting procedures and the resultant increase in length of treatment time are factors which influence treatment plan acceptance by patients.
The use of angulated methods and materials in implant treatment modalities results in less sinus grafting and buccal bone grafting, and allows for use of screw-retained prostheses which reduces the time span of the treatment.
