Clinical Case Report

Rehabilitating an Edentulous Maxilla with a Fixed Dental Prosthesis Using a DSD-Guided Approach

Newton Sesma, Waldemar Daudt Polido

A 60-year-old man was referred to the Center of Excellence for Prosthodontics and Implant Dentistry (CEPI) of the School of Dentistry of the University of São Paulo, Brazil for implant therapy. Anamnesis, clinical examination, and radiographs revealed esthetic and functional problems, the absence or structural compromise of various teeth (16–11, 21, 22, 24, 25, 37, 45, and 48), periodontal and endodontic problems (17 and 27), implant fracture (46), and occlusal disorders . The patient reported that he was undergoing treatment for cardiovascular diseases.

  • * General SAC assessment modifiers that are also part of the ERA. To avoid redundancy they are listed in this section even if no complete ERA has been made.

  • ** Not applicable to the ERA of immediate placement cases and replaced by "Socket Integrity" listed below under "Surgical SAC Classification". For all other placement types this value is a classification determinant and listed here even if no complete ERA has been made.
