Molar Dental Implants: Replacing Two Upper Back Teeth
Chief Complaint & Initial Presentation
Pain when biting brought this patient to Dental World. Examination identified a fractured upper right first molar and a missing upper left first molar. Together, these concerns affected chewing comfort and left the patient seeking functional tooth replacement.
Clinical Methodology & Biomechanical Approach
The fractured upper right molar was removed, and the site was prepared with a sinus lift, bone graft and membrane. Treatment then progressed through healing and the implant restorative stages. At the upper left molar site, a surgical guide assisted implant placement with bone grafting. After healing, the implants were restored with definitive crowns, including an all-ceramic restoration on the upper left. The sequence was adapted to the different preparation and healing needs of the two sites.
Clinical Outcome & Long-Term Stability
Both implant-supported restorations were completed, replacing the affected upper molars and restoring posterior tooth function. The case shows how different surgical and restorative steps can be coordinated within one treatment plan. Ongoing review and maintenance remain part of care.
Pain when biting and a missing upper molar called for a treatment plan that addressed both sides of the mouth. This molar dental implants case combined site preparation, bone grafting and staged restoration to replace two upper back teeth.
