Complex implant-supported maxillary reconstruction
Clinical Case by MDT Mathias Berger
Highly reliable implants, advanced surgical techniques and innovative restorative materials, designs and approaches: modern implant dentistry has evolved into a predictable discipline producing aesthetic and functional outcomes, which are successful in the long term. Asking patients what they expect from a complex implant-supported reconstruction in the maxilla, natural aesthetics and biocompatibility are often demanded apart from functional aspects. With modern zirconia materials that offer the flexural strength required and well-balanced aesthetics, these demands are easily met.
The following case example is used to demonstrate how to maximise the potential of the recently introduced KATANA™ Zirconia HTML PLUS (Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.), a multi-layered zirconia and the successor of KATANA™ Zirconia HTML with further improved strength and aesthetics. A special cutback design refined with hand instruments, shading with Esthetic Colorant for KATANA™ Zirconia and micro-layering with CERABIEN™ ZR porcelains (both Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc.) led to a quite natural result.
