Aurelio Cortez, a 74-year-old Mexican-American patient, sought the services of International X Dental driven by our strong online presence, where we showcase the radiant smiles we’ve crafted for those who trust us. Additionally, one of his close relatives had already achieved significant results in our clinic.

Although Aurelio hails from Santa Fe, New Mexico, he had visited several dental offices in Mexico, particularly in Ojinaga, without finding a solution to his dental issues. Considering the geographical proximity and recommendations, Aurelio decided to cross the border into Mexico to seek our assistance. Moreover, he received guidance for his transportation, lodging, and recreational activities during his stay.

Initial Challenges and Symptoms:

Aurelio approached us with serious problems in various teeth. The significant deterioration of his dental pieces caused sensitivity and difficulty in eating properly, significantly impacting his quality of life.

Due to inadequate dental hygiene and lack of preventive care, Aurelio’s teeth showed advanced decay and grade 2 mobility, rendering them irreparable. One of the main challenges was the quality of the patient’s bone, but thanks to our clinic’s advanced technology, we were able to overcome this obstacle.

Treatment Plan:

Diagnosis and Evaluation:

A simple diagnosis revealed non-functional root remnants, i.e., fragments of dental roots that no longer served any purpose in the dental structure. We opted for the placement of all on 4 implants.

Applied Treatments:

• Extraction of deteriorated teeth.
• Placement of 4 upper implants for the installation of an all on 4 screw-retained bar.
• Installation of a temporary full prosthesis.

Proposed Options:

Initially, a removable prosthesis was suggested, but after evaluating Aurelio’s situation, it was decided that the best solution was a fixed all on 4 prosthesis for greater comfort and functionality.

Applied Technology:

• Tomograph: For detailed images of bone and teeth.
• Orthopantomograph: For panoramic X-rays of the mouth.
• Digital Scanner: For precise 3D models of the mouth.
• NSK Implant Motor: For the precise insertion of implants.

Treatment and Solution:

The treatment plan involved the extraction of root remnants and the placement of 4 implants, on which a fixed prosthesis was installed. This solution not only provided greater comfort to Aurelio but also a significant improvement in his ability to eat and speak.

Changes After Treatment:

Aurelio experienced a notable improvement in his speech, self-esteem, and ability to eat normally. His appearance also changed significantly, reflecting the quality of the work done.

Results:

The results were exactly as expected. Aurelio now enjoys a substantial improvement in his quality of life, with a functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Technological Synergy and Personalization:

The combination of advanced technology and personalized care was crucial to the treatment’s success. The use of the intraoral scanner, tomograph, and orthopantomograph, along with the NSK implant motor, streamlined the process and ensured optimal results. The customization of the treatment, tailored to Aurelio’s specific needs, played a crucial role in his recovery and ultimate satisfaction.
