DENTOALVEOLAR COMPENSATION AND CLINICAL LONGEVITY: A 30-YEAR STUDY ON IMPLANT STABILITY IN OCCLUSAL DYNAMICS.

Abstract

This case study follows the remarkable journey of a 27-year-old woman, a patient who played a pivotal role in advancing scientic research. In 1993, she bravely opted for an innovative endosseous titanium blade implant to replace her upper lateral left incisor. Over 30 years, her natural teeth and the interposed prosthetic tooth remained untouched, a testament to the stability of the dental implant and the success of prosthodontic rehabilitation with a crown. Her dental implant journey is not just a captivating story, but a shared experience that offers a rare glimpse into the long-term effects of such treatments.
