Abstract :
Full mouth rehabilitation with fixed implant supported prostheses is one of the challenging
treatments, because important factors in aesthetic and function should be considered. Implants'
alignments and locations should be planned before the insertion unless the improper inclination
and location of implants would lead to difficulties in patient's comfort, oral hygiene problem and
inability to reconstruct the acceptable functional and aesthetical prosthesis.
This clinical report described the step by step prosthetic treatment procedure of full mouth
rehabilitation and 1-year follow-up of a patient who underwent 10 and 8 implants in upper and
lower jaw respectively, which were unaligned and malpositioned. In the cases of improper
alignment and position of implants, modified prosthetic design with consideration of
biomechanical principles should be incorporated to overcome the limitations.
