Carbon fiber frameworks and lithium disilicate crowns for implant rehabilitation: case report

A new era of materials can improve the implant rehabilitations. Different materials such as carbon fiber, PEEK, glass fiber or quartz fiber with composite, hybrid composites or lithium disilicate crowns cemented over the implants, can offer the best solution for the patients. Their occlusal impact absorbing and dissipating behavior allows to obtain a lower stress in the implant-bone-prosthesis area, reducing the risk of bone resorption of the implant when the patient has gingival inflammation. This case report discusses about a partially edentulous of 27-year-old women patient. The chief complaint of the patient was esthetic aspect; to rehabilitate her mouth with a fixed implant prosthesis. The treatment plan for the patient was a full mouth implant rehabilitation, those are as many as 18 implants (10 on the upper and 8 on the lower jaw), bilateral sinus lift, horizontal regeneration, maxillary impaction (orthognathic surge-ry). Both prostheses made with carbon fiber frameworks and lithium disilicate crowns cemented over them.
