Replacement of a Failed Screw-Retained Prosthesis with a Telescopic TRIO-TRINIA® Prosthesis with Milled Hybrid Polyceramic Teeth
This treatment for an 83-year-old woman, who presented with a failed maxillary prosthesis supported by five screw-retained IMZ implants, demonstrates the clinical capabilities of a telescopic TRINIA® prosthesis supported by only three Bicon SHORT® Implants: two 4.5 x 6.0-mm implants with a 3.0-mm well, and one 4.0 x 6.0-mm implant with a 2.5-mm well. The laboratory techniques and procedures of this treatment are also presented. After five months of healing, the implants were uncovered and a telescopic TRIO-TRINIA® prosthesis was fabricated with milled hybrid polyceramic teeth. |

Immediate Load of Three Maxillary Incisor 4.5 x 8.0mm Implants
This treatment demonstrates the extraction of teeth #8, 9, and 10, and the subsequent placement and immediate loading of three 4.5 x 8.0mm implants with 2.5mm wells, the preparation of the osteotomy with latch reamers rotating at 50RPM, as well as the fabrication of a temporary stabilizing prosthesis with polyacrylate material and a vacupress former. |

Replacement of an O-ring Mandibular Overdenture with a Telescopic TRINIA®-HC Prosthesis Utilizing Gothic Arch Occlusal Registration Tracing
This case demonstrates the clinical and laboratory procedures and techniques to replace a 10-year-old O-Ring mandibular overdenture on three O-Ring Abutments with a telescopic prosthesis of TRINIA® and Shofu disc HC, CAD/CAM material, with three milled retentive copings on Universal Abutments in two clinical visits for a 75-year-old woman. During the first clinical visit, the three O-Ring Abutments were removed from their implants, and three 2.0mm impression posts and corresponding acrylic sleeves were inserted for the making of a full arch implant-level transfer impression. An initial centric occlusal registration was recorded using modified acrylic impression sleeves at the patient’s existing vertical dimension of occlusion with the bite registration material, Capture. While the patient waited, the impressions were poured and the stone models articulated for the fabrication of a maxillary stylus and mandibular tracing plate to facilitate the registration of the patient’s centric relation utilizing the Gothic arch occlusal registration tracing. After recording the patient’s centric relation, the O-Ring Abutments were re-inserted, and the occlusal registration was sent to the dental technician for the fabrication of a telescopic TRINIA® substructure to which three separately milled teeth arrangements of Shofu disc HC material were bonded. During the second clinical visit, the O-Ring Abutments were removed, and three Universal Abutments were inserted into the implants utilizing a light-cured resin orientation/seating jig, prior to the cementation of three milled retentive copings into the bores of the TRINIA®-HC prosthesis. |

Replacing an Implant-Retained Overdenture with Four Locator Abutments with a Handcrafted Polyceramic TRINIA® Telescopic Prosthesis on Four Universal Abutments with Four Milled Retentive Copings in Only Two Restorative Visits
This treatment demonstrates the clinical and laboratory aspects for the fabrication and insertion of a handcrafted polyceramic TRINIA® telescopic restoration on four unmodified Universal Abutments with four milled retentive copings to replace an implant-retained overdenture with four Locator Abutments for an eighty-four-year-old man, who was not satisfied with his Locator retained prosthesis. During the first clinical visit, after the clinical evaluation and consult, the patient’s four Locator abutments were removed and a full arch implant-level transfer impression was made along with a tooth shade and an initial occlusal registration, for the fabrication of a Gothic Arch plate and stylus. Subsequent to the fabrication of the Gothic Arch devices, a second occlusal registration was made and the patient’s existing Locator abutments were reinserted prior to reinserting his existing overdenture. During the second clinical visit, the Locator abutments were removed and four unmodified Universal Abutments were inserted using two light-cured resin orientation and seating jigs as sequenced according to the technician’s numerical markings on the master soft tissue model. Once the abutments were properly seated and the four milled retentive copings were passively fitted to the handcrafted polyceramic TRINIA® prosthesis, the copings were cemented with a resin cement into the bores of the TRINIA® framework, prior to delivering the new telescopic prosthesis to the patient. |

Laboratory and Clinical Aspects of Fabricating and Inserting Four Universal Abutments for the Immediate Insertion of a Milled PMMA Telescopic Transitional Prosthesis and a Permanent Handcrafted Poly-ceramic Telescopic Prosthesis on a TRINIA® Framework with Three Milled Copings and One Custom Cast Chrome Cobalt Coping with an Interchangeable Retentive Attachment
This treatment depicts the detailed aspects and nuances of the above-described prostheses in only three clinical restorative visits, which included: |

Insertion of a Maxillary Full Arch TRINIA® Telescopic Prosthesis
This treatment demonstrates the sequential use of a resin seating jig to facilitate the orientation and seating of four abutments for the insertion of a maxillary full arch TRINIA® telescopic prosthesis with two milled retentive copings and two custom cast chrome cobalt copings on four implants for a 59-year-old woman. |
