Semi-fixed technique 84 years old Lisbon Semi-fixed technique Allows the prosthetic structures to be retained more effectively, giving security when speaking, laughing and eating when compared to conventional prostheses. Our patient came to our Oral Rehabilitation consultation after my team and I had treated her daughter and son-in-law with complete rehabilitations. She gained courage after realizing that the recovery, the post-operative period and the final result of the treatments met the expectations of her closest relatives. She wanted her removable dentures to stop falling out when she spoke and ate. With this treatment, we were able to solve his problem of the last few decades in a simple way. He now visits us every year with his family for a maintenance appointment. Before After

Our patient, after her brother had been rehabilitated by our team, also decided to have the “courage she lacked”, in her own words, to go ahead with her treatment. After all the tests and information had been discussed between us and the patient, she opted for this solution. She is very happy with the results of the treatment and comes to see us every six months. In the particular case of this patient and this treatment, we make two maintenance appointments a year.

As well as suffering from periodontal disease (gums and alveolar bone), our patient had been a smoker for many years and smoked many cigarettes a day. We managed to strike a balance with the patient in terms of the solution decided on for the treatment and the commitment needed to reduce smoking habits. He was able to chew again and is very happy with the aesthetics that the two semi-fixed structures now give him. Before After
