Fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation of a patient after bariatric surgery using a facially driven fully digital workflow: A clinical report with a 3-year follow-up.
Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry 2024 March 31
Patients who have received bariatric surgery have specific and complex dental needs. After surgery, nutrient deficiencies, osteoporosis, gastroesophageal reflux, and changes to the oral cavity may be seen, and erosion, caries, wear, xerostomia, hypersensitivity, and changes to the salivary buffering capacity may occur. In addition, patients are advised to ingest smaller, more frequent, meals throughout the day, and the oral condition may decline rapidly after surgery. Without oversight, this accelerated decline may even necessitate complete mouth rehabilitation postoperatively. Dental providers should be an integral part of the multidisciplinary management team of these patients. This clinical report describes a patient with a terminal dentition following bariatric surgery who underwent prosthodontic rehabilitation with a facially driven fully digital workflow.
