For decades, dental implants have been recommended to improve the retention of removable dental prostheses (RDPs) placed in edentulous mandible (Rammelsberg et al. 2013). Moreover, prosthodontic options include fixed dental prosthesis (FDPs) on either, abutment teeth or abutment implants, a combination of abutment teeth and implants, implant-supported single crowns and resin-bonded prosthesis.

The CAD/CAM denture bases were produced from a pink Poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) disk. After 18 months with the removable prostheses, the patient felt ready and asked for a more efficient restoration in the mandible. The first concern at this moment was to carefully check the previously manufactured dentures in their esthetic and functional aspects. The patient was very satisfied with the esthetic and the occlusal aspects of the dentures but asked for a more stable solution in the lower arch. Both overdenture and hybrid prostheses (an acrylic resin complete fixed dental prosthesis supported by implants) with different numbers of implants were proposed and thoroughly explained to the patient, and his preferred choice was a hybrid prosthesis supported by six mandibular implants.

Dental prostheses are used to restore the shape, mechanical functions, and esthetic function of teeth lost due to cavities, periodontal disease, or accident. In the field of dental care, significant emphasis is placed on the appearance of prostheses, including esthetic blending with adjacent teeth and reproduction of natural tooth coloration. Esthetic dental treatment satisfies demand for whitened teeth, improving quality of life. Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns have long been used for repairing teeth. Because these crowns have metal frames, however, the gingiva near the cervical part may appear dark, and blackening may occur where the metal comes into contact with the gingiva. Since the prosthesis is placed in the harsh environment of the oral cavity over long periods, moreover, metal allergy due to eluate from the metal frame can become a problem. New methods of tooth repair are thus required. The affinity and compatibility of dental materials to the living body are important, as is the functional expression of these materials as prostheses. Biological harm, such as metal allergy, can be caused by biological or chemical changes in materials in the oral environment. At the same time, the metal components in the material may induce changes in the body tissue via dissolution or physical contact [1].

Replacing missing teeth using dental implants has become a well-established approach in oral rehabilitation, and implant-supported fixed dental prostheses have become one of the most common prosthodontic restorations of today [1]. Implant-supported fixed dental prostheses can be either screw-retained, cement-retained, or a combination of both, and each method has their advantages and disadvantages [2].
