FUNCTION AND AESTHETIC TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH FULL MOUTH REHABILITATION ON IMPLANTS

Dental practitioners must use aesthetic parameters in their daily practice and understand the function to identify maxillofacilal area dysfunction. In this book, show how could a dental practitioner apply in their daily practice the knowledge of anatomy, physiology, laws of motion and gnathological aspects adopted by Rudolf Slavicek's approach. When dealing with the issue of patients' treatment, we apply an interdisciplinary approach and joint work with allied health professionals such as somnologists, neurologists, osteopathic physicians, psychologists, cosmetologists and radiologists. This gave us an opportunity to address the problem of rehabilitation of patients with thetotal restoration of thedentalarech in a comprehensive way. In our work, we used the approach and philosophy of R. Slavicek in clinical functional and instrumental analyses and also the procedure of collection of data and aesthetic parameters. Both analyses, along with the conclusions of allied health professionals, provided an opportunity to make a comprehensive plan of diagnosis and treatment and consider the patient as an integrated cybernetical system. The most important things for me were achieving comprehension and obtaining answers to the following questions: 1. what problem the patient has at the moment; 2. where are we going in our treatment; and 3. how are we going to get there. To solve these problems, we applied the basics of natural adaptation: condylar, dento-alveolar and vertical. The purpose of the book is to show the use of gnathological aspects in daily practice of a dental practitioner. And also to show long-tem results after 5 to 12 years. This approach puts a special focus on continuity in the possibility of holding consultations between practitioners remotely.
