Abstract |
The dental and oral rehabilitation of patients with severe trauma that involves the oral cavity is demanding and challenging. Recently, advanced surgical techniques and innovations in oral implantology led to more sophisticated treatment modalities that may better fulfill the patients needs in special situations. Young people rather often suffer from accidents--at school and during leisure activities--in a period of their life that has a great impact on their physical, mental and personal development. Thus, the wish for a quick functional and esthetical rehabilitation contrasts with the complex clinical situation and the compromised oral conditions. All persons involved in the rehabilitation process--including the patient--must seek for the best solution that takes into account treatment time, invasivity of procedures and patients morbidity. Further, it is also observed that insurances very much stress the reduction of cost and the simplicity of treatment. This will also influence the treatment planning and the sequence of the procedures as shown by the following case.
