Sažetak
Implant-prosthodontic treatment of two cases of intermaxillary vertical dimension loss are shown. After extensive diagnostic procedures, including manual functional analysis, and cephalographic analysis, it was decided in one case to keep the present intermaxillary angle values, hence gaining the needed space by bilateral alveolar ridge reductions. In the second case it was decided to use occlusal splint therapy, thus gaining the needed space by changing the intermaxillary angle. Following surgical, endodontic and conservative treatment in upper and lower arches of both patients, intermaxillary dimensions were recorded, OPGs were made, and vertical dimensional alveolar ridge measurements were made using specifically designed software. In one case, measurements showed that surgical reduction of approximately 4-9mm bilaterally in lower jaw would ensure sufficient intermaxillary space for implant-supported fixed prosthodontic dentures without interfering with intermaxillary angle. The implant placement was delayed for 2 months after roots removal and ridge reduction. In the second case, after a period of 6 months of the occlusal splint therapy the intermaxillary distance at the medial line was enlarged by 4mm, and maintained by temporary bridges until the end of implant-prosthodontic therapy. Following the period of osseointegration, in both cases fixed prosthodontic dentures were made, one without changing the intermaxillary angle, and the other with changing it. Regular 6-months follow up has shown satisfactory results after 4 years.
