Abstract
SANCHEZ SILOT, Clara; ALMAGRO URRUTIA, Zoraya Emilia and LORAN ALMAGRO, Solangel. Rehabilitated aged patient with dental prothesis on immediate load implants. MEDISAN [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.8, pp. 795-803. ISSN 1029-3019.
The case report of a 65 year-old old man is presented who attended the multidisciplinary department in "Raúl González Sánchez" Stomatology Faculty in Havana, because he had received prosthetic treatment in three occasions during the last two years and none had gathered the necessary retention requirements to feel sure and comfortable. A protocol was followed which comprised a surgical phase by means of the use of the implantological technique with early or immediate load by overdenture, with which improved the patient's aesthetic and functional quality, and his total satisfaction was achieved.
