Systematic Risk Management: Providing a Patient the Smile She Long Desired.
The patient described in this case had medical issues that increased her risk for restoration failure. She also had long been disappointed with her smile and the overall appearance of her teeth. The goal of managing risks and achieving improved quality of life with an esthetic and functional restoration involved preventive strategies, use of a transitional immediate denture, maxillary arch implants, and, finally, a fixed, detachable, implant-supported final restoration. The keys to restoring to the patient a satisfying, beautiful smile were systematically managing the risks and improving the prognoses in each of the four dental categories--periodontal, biomechanical, functional, and dentofacial.
