Figure 7. Clinical findings after second prosthetic readjustment. (A) Intraoral view of the upper jaw with all implants: the 4 frontal implants were positioned 26 years before; the distal implants (in maxillary tuberosity) were positioned 14 years before; the middle implants (zygomatic implants) were positioned several weeks before. The picture was taken at the end of soft tissue healing. The surgical incisions for the placement of the 2 zygomatic implants are still evident on both sides. (B) Intraoral view of the upper jaw with screwed prosthetic bar. Distal implants were excluded to reduce unnecessary extension and to allow simpler home hygiene. (C) Intraoral view of upper fixed implant-supported prosthesis. (D) Upper prosthesis before mounting in the mouth. Six implants were involved in supporting. A functional but reduced cantilever was carried out.
