Replacing Three 25-Year-Old O-Ring Abutments with Three Universal Abutments for the Fabrication of a Mandibular TRINIA® Telescopic Full-Arch Prosthesis for a Seventy-Three-Year-Old Patient

Posted on January 13, 2021 in Overdentures, Restorative, Telescopic Restorations

This case demonstrates the removal of three 25-year-old O-Ring Abutments, implant-level impression technique, gothic arch tracing, placement of three Universal Abutments, cementation of retentive copings, and the insertion of a TRINIA® telescopic full-arch prosthesis on three mandibular implants for a seventy-three-year-old female patient.

Additionally, note the complete compatibly and interchangeability of Bicon components manufactured over two decades ago as well as the healthy mucosa and bone levels around twenty-four-year-old implants.
