Article Abstract
Complete edentulism significantly affects the esthetics, function, and quality of life of the elderly. Implant-supported hybrid dentures are superior to conventional removable prostheses in terms of stability, esthetics, and masticatory function. This case report details the dental rehabilitation of a 75-year-old female patient seeking total dental restoration. Clinical evaluation revealed partial edentulism in both arches accompanied by residual root stumps. Eight endosseous implants were placed in the maxilla and seven in the mandible following a delayed loading protocol to ensure optimal osseointegration. A metal framework was fabricated, and occlusal adjustments were made to achieve a passive fit for the hybrid prosthesis. Post-rehabilitation care included educating the patient on oral hygiene and scheduling routine follow-up. The patient experienced marked improvements in speech, mastication, and esthetics, indicating successful rehabilitation. This case underscores the effectiveness of implant-supported hybrid dentures in delivering lasting functional and aesthetic improvements to edentulous patients, consistent with the current literature favoring their use over traditional removable prostheses.

Edentulism is a prevalent issue among elderly individuals. The aim of giving treatment to elderly patients is to provide them with utmost comfort, function, and aesthetics. An implant-supported discovery hybrid prosthesis is an effective way to achieve this.

Rehabilitation using dental implants placed in the pterygomaxillary region posteriorly and between the maxillary sinuses anteriorly allows overcoming these limitations.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the stresses generated in the bone, implant, substructure materials, and aesthetic materials of hybrid prostheses prepared from three different substructure materials placed at different lengths in the pterygomaxillary region of completely edentulous maxillae using three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA).

Objective: To present the 2-year clinical outcomes of short-span implant-supported hybrid composite restorations, namely single crowns (SCs) and fixed partial prostheses (FPPs), produced using tilting stereolithography (TSLA).
Methods: This retrospective study was based on data from a cohort 145 patients, treated between June 2021 and June 2023, with 185 fixed short-span implant-supported hybrid composite restorations (Irix Max®, RD Printing, Thiene, Vicenza, Italy) produced using tilting stereolithography (TSLA). The restorations were manufactured through a fully digital, model-free workflow, which included intra-oral scanning, computer-aided design (CAD) and additive manufacturing with the TSLA system (Dfab®, RD Printing).

Full-arch implant-supported prostheses have become a widely accepted solution for edentulous patients, yet long-term biological and mechanical complications remain a clinical concern. : This retrospective study included 70 fully edentulous patients (362 implants) rehabilitated with either fixed or removable implant-supported prostheses. Data were collected on demographics, medical status, type and location of prostheses, implant type, abutments, method of fixation, and complications.

Materials And Methods: Two partially edentulous patients with missing teeth in the maxillary esthetic zone were treated with a novel technical and restorative concept using the 2-piece CAD/CAM screw-retained zirconia-ceramic hybrid-abutment crown concept bonded to nitride coated titanium bases.
Clinical Outcomes: Biologic outcomes showed that tissues were maintained healthy with the patients showing an adequate oral hygiene level, no detectable plaque present upon probing and no bleeding on probing.
