If only one or a few teeth are missing, the prosthesis is fixed
to the implant. In the case of complete prostheses, when all the
teeth are missing, two possibilities can be considered.
The fixed piece is entirely supported by the implant. It generally
does not enter into contact with the mucous membranes. Obviously,
this piece is very stable. The removable piece is held up by both
the implant and the jaw.
Different elements will guide your choice towards one option or
the other. The residual bone volume, the aesthetics and the facility
of maintaining oral hygiene are some of the factors which must be
taken into consideration.
