Due to severe alveolar ridge atrophy, mini-implant insertion (2.0 mm wide) was an option without extensive surgical procedures. The patient signed the informed consent. A few days after the implant insertion, injury, inflammation, and induration of the vestibular movable mucous membrane were observed on the movable vestibular mucosa on the right side, opposing the mini-implants. The cause of inflammation was attributed to increased perioral muscle tonus which pushed the movable mucosa onto the mini-implant heads and caused mechanical trauma. During the period of edentulism, the perioral muscle tonus increased, directing the mucous membrane of the lips and cheeks against residual ridge to enable food comminution. To treat the persistent decubitus, a bulk of dental composite resin was placed around mini-implant heads and light-cured to protect the mucosa from further mechanical trauma, as the patient did not possess an old mandibular denture to cover the mini-implant heads. Vestibuloplastic surgery (disinsertion of movable attachments and deepening of the vestibulum) was also done. After the surgery, a silicone splint, resembling an occlusal rim, was made to protect the mucous membrane, keep medicaments for faster epitalization in place, to decrease perioral muscle tonus before the new dentures' delivery, and to prevent movable tissue relapse.

It often happens that there is significant loosening of the remaining teeth adjacent to the missing tooth, which should be splinted. This case report describes a digitally fabricated fixed restoration for both replacing lost teeth and splinting periodontally compromised mobile teeth. With the CAD-CAM technique, patients can receive the restoration immediately after the extraction. The digital design and fabrication of the restoration were elaborated using the restorative process of a patient with a mandibular anterior tooth to be extracted and multiple loose lower anterior teeth. The immediate restoration process and the pontic modification when the extraction socket had healed were also described. <b>Conclusions:</b> The digital process avoids the nudging of the loose tooth by the traditional impression technique, improves the accuracy of the restoration, and avoids undue stress on the loose tooth when the restoration is in place. In addition, this method allows the patient to obtain a fixed restoration immediately after extraction, and if damage occurs after the restoration has been cemented, such as fracture or debonding, a new restoration can be prepared before the patient's return visit. <b>Clinical Significance:</b> This minimally invasive restorative method achieved the fixation of loose teeth while restoring the missing teeth, but the success of the treatment needed long-time observation.</p>","PeriodicalId":46841,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Dentistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11519064/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142548258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
