CASE 12: the last picture is at 1.5 years follow-up

CASE 11: This patient had to replace multiple teeth in bad conditions. The treatment was planned in different stages so that the patient would be able to heal after bone grafts on the mandible to be able to insert the ceramic implants.

CASE 10:  This patient lost all the teeth due to periodontal disease. After removing all the teeth and waiting 2 months for the gums to heal, the CeraRoot ceramic implants were placed with good stability. After 4 months, the zirconia bridge was cemented on the implants. The last 4 pictures show the xray and the mouth of the patient at 2 years and a half follow-up.

CASE 9: This patient had all the teeth in the mandible in bad conditions and needed to be removed. On the upper maxilla the patient is still ongoing with restorative treatment. The lower mandible has been restored with 4 CeraRoot zirconia implants and a full arch zirconia bridge.

CASE 8: This patient suffered a genetic modification that produced a dental condition called amelogenesis imperfecta. The patient was very sensitive to the elements found in titanium alloys. This patient had been waiting many years to have a fixed restoration without metals. So the CeraRoot ceramic implants became a very good alternative. This patient has been monitored for more than 8 years without any problem. The gums are healthy and the bone around implants is stable. This case was published at the European Journal of Esthetic Dentistry.

CASE 7: The upper right lateral incisor was left for several months to hold a temporary bridge. The temporary bridge was only cemented on natural teeth and not on the implants. After several months of healing, when the implants were osseointegrated, a fixed temporary bridge was cemented on top of the implants and the upper right lateral incisor was extracted. When the gums were stable, the final zirconia bridge was cemented on top of three implants. From the upper left central, to the first molar area, a 7 unit bridge was cemented on three implants. On the second quadrant, all was finished with individual crowns. A CeraRoot 21 of 12mm was used on the upper left central, a CeraRoot 34L of 12mm was used on the upper right canine and a CeraRoot 34 of 10mm was used on the upper right first molar area.

CASE 6: This patient had multiple lesions on the upper left teeth. After 3.5 year we can see more health on the upper left quadrant compared to the upper right natural teeth. It was a complex case to start with, but it turned out nice and the patient is very satisfied. The patient has strong para-function habits and this means there is a very high force applied to the implants, but they are doing really well.

CASE 5: This patient had multiple teeth with infections on the roots. The patient decided to have them extracted and replaced with ceramic implants. The final xray and intraoral photos, show 2 and a half years situation after the surgery. The patient now has better oral hygiene and her gums look beautiful. The patient will soon start with treatment on the lower jaw.

CASE 4: This patient did not want any kind of metal in the mouth. She had good quality and quantity of bone to have multiple CeraRoot implants placed in the mouth. The latest panoramic xray (7 years post surgery) shows stability of bone around the implants. The hygiene of the patient is not really good, but enough to maintain the implants healthy. If this patient was a smoker, the bone levels around the implants and the health of the gum would not be the same.

CASE 3: This a 7 year follow-up case of a patient that had multiple teeth extracted and replaced with several types of CeraRoot implants. The patient has good oral hygiene and this makes the soft tissue be really healthy around the one-piece CeraRoot implants. The panoramic xray and the last intraoral pictures is 7 years after the surgery.

CASE 2: All the teeth on the upper maxilla, had to be removed. On the same day of teeth extractions, the implants were placed and a fixed temporary bridge was placed. The patient was on soft diet for 4 months. The last image shows 3.5 years after the implants were placed. The patient is happy and decided to have improved the esthetics on the lower teeth, and had all-ceramic veneers cemented.

CASE 1: The upper teeth were removed and the implants were placed on the same day. A fixed temporary bridge was placed on the upper implants on the second day after surgery. After 2 months, all the teeth on the lower arch were extracted and several implants placed. A fixed temporary bridge was cemented on the lower teeth. After 5 months, several adjustments were done to correct the deep bite and deliver a stable occlusion. The patient had several apical infections in many of the teeth, most teeth had metal posts inside the roots. The patient was happy to have all the metals from her mouth removed.
