Fixed temporary PMMA bridge delivered within 48 hours post-surgery, maintaining aesthetics and occlusal function for 5 months.
Final transition to a definitive, precision-milled 12-unit DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) ceramic bridge.
Outcome
Restored full masticatory function within 72 hours—the patient began chewing solid food the very next day after PMMA bridge placement.
Complete relief from chronic denture instability, adhesives, and blended liquid diets.
Stable peri-implant soft-tissue adaptation during the 5-month provisional phase, followed by permanent DMLS rehabilitation.
