How is a hybrid denture placed?
The hybrid dental prosthesis is a fixed structure screwed on dental implants to replace lost teeth and soft tissues. They are composed of a metal framework that gives them the appropriate shape and allows them to support the dental pieces made of resin and other acrylic materials, which replace the missing ones.
This innovative form of oral rehabilitation, it joins all the teeth and also incorporates the gum. This is because they are full arch, that is, they are placed on all the upper or lower teeth and on implants, which are approximately between 4 and 8.
It is worth noting that the hybrid dental prosthesis offers natural results with a great similarity in color, shape, appearance and feel to the original teeth, thanks to its metal structure that is covered with white and pink acrylic material to simulate the aesthetics of the teeth and gums.
These prostheses are usually removed during dental check-ups every 6 months so that non-accessible areas can be cleaned.
How is a hybrid denture placed?
At Oral Studio, the hybrid dental prosthesis is placed screwed to the dental implants, through intermediate screws that are responsible for fixing the entire structure and sealing the space between the implants and the prosthesis.
These screws are sealed with composite, as if a dental filling were being performed, since this provides accessibility to the screws when it is necessary to disassemble the prosthesis.
It should be noted that prior to placing the metal structure, the correct fixation of the implants in the bone structure is required.
In what cases is a hybrid dental prosthesis placed?
Hybrid dentures are usually placed in patients who are edentulous, meaning they lack teeth in either the mandible or the maxilla or both. However, they can also be placed in patients who still have some teeth but these teeth are predicted to be lost in the short term and are doomed to become completely edentulous.[

How many implants are needed to anchor a hybrid denture?
To anchor a hybrid dental prosthesis, it is necessary to have between 4 and 6 dental implants, which will allow the prosthesis to be correctly fixed. In the case of an upper arch hybrid prosthesis, between 5 and 6 implants are necessary. While for cases of lower arch prostheses, only 4 are needed.
Patients must keep in mind that each of these implants must be previously osseointegrated.
