FP1 Approach: Recreating Aesthetics & Nature in Full Arch Rehabilitation
What is Fixed Full-Arch Implant Dentistry? Understanding Fixed Prosthesis 1 (FP1)
Fixed Prosthesis 1 (FP1) represents the most formidable type and intricate approach to full-arch implant surgery and fixed prosthetic dentistry. Known for its complexity, the FP1 procedure demands extensive expertise in bone and soft tissue management, coupled with significant laboratory costs. It is often considered the premier, the BEST choice for transforming smiles with solutions like “All-on-4” or “Teeth-in-a-Day.”
Historical Approach to FP1
In the past, FP1 procedures were carried out in several stages:
- Initial Extraction: Patients first underwent serial extraction of their teeth.
- Implant Placement: Implants were placed in a submerged fashion, with remaining teeth supporting temporary fixed partial dentures.
- Osseointegration: Following the osseointegration of the implants, additional teeth were extracted, more implants were inserted, and temporary bridges were supported by the osseointegrated implants.
- Final Restoration: A definitive prosthesis was then installed.
Modern Advances in FP1
Recent technological advancements have streamlined the FP1 procedure, making it more efficient:
- Immediate Placement: Implants can now be placed without the need for staged extractions, thanks to achieving primary stability.
- Technological Innovations: Multiunit abutments (MUAs), advanced temporary materials, implants designed for immediate placement and loading, and refined grafting techniques have significantly enhanced outcomes.
- Digital Dentistry: Optimization through digital dentistry and rapid 24-hour delivery of provisional teeth have transformed the process.
Key Features of FP1
- Patient Suitability: FP1 is suitable for most patients and is considered the most sustainable implant solution, with no visible gaps between the gums and the prosthesis.
- Prosthesis Design: Typically focuses on replacing only the teeth or crowns, usually without pink porcelain.
- Aesthetic Benefits: Ideal for the maxillary anterior region to achieve superior aesthetic results.
- Implant Support: Supported by six to eight dental implants (or more), mimicking the positioning of natural tooth roots.
- Bone and Tissue Requirements: May require bone and soft tissue grafting to address aesthetic concerns and enhance gingival contours.
- Restorative Materials: Multilayer zirconia and all-ceramic materials offer the most aesthetically pleasing and durable prosthesis.
- Modern Construction: Restorations are now frequently created using digital technology and advanced 3D printing techniques.
- Treatment Duration: The full process can now be reduced substantially due the advances on digital dentistry and photogrammetry .
