[en] The completely edentulous maxilla can be considered as a real handicap for many patients. Implantology has
revolutionized and transformed the lives of these patients. To achieve a proper result, an implant treatment plan
must be defined corresponding to the clinical situation.
To determine the best choice of implant-prosthetic rehabilitation, the decision making will be guided by three elements.
Firstly, the available space for prosthetic rehabilitation will be determined in the pre-implant prosthetic study which is an
absolutely essential step. It is, indeed, the prosthesis which guides the surgery and not the opposite.Asecond element is the
long-term success rate of implant rehabilitations.Are certain rehabilitations superior to others on this subject? Finally the
third element is the patient satisfaction at the end of the treatment. It is an essential element as it is the ultimate goal of the
treatments.
